The Weather-Beaten Scarecrow

It has become well known in Irish popular culture that many of us don't know our national anthem 'Amhrán na bhFiann'. The new book 'Our National Anthem' is a keepsake children's book that aims to change this through stories, pictures and the phonetic and Irish translations.

This beautifully designed gift book includes a selection of over seventy of Yeats's best loved poems. These are complemented by a wide range of paintings, prints and drawings, the majority by Irish or Irish-based artists and often artists who were contemporaries of the poet.

From Irish Hospice Foundation, who so compassionately provide end-of-life and bereavement care, this collection provides the gift of words at a time when words can be hard to find.Created in conjunction with Poetry Ireland, this is a collection of words to comfort in the most troubled times.
