New Island Books

Acclaimed illustrator Annie West has always been fascinated by horrible accidents, hilarious incidents, unsolvable mysteries and amusing deaths. From Icarus to Strongbow, Attila the Hun to Sartre, Another Fine Mess assembles a fine cast of those who met untimely (and entertaining) ends. With her inimitable style and incorrigible sense of humour, Annie West has produced another beautiful and enjoyable work.

A contemporary and gorgeous memoir of adoption from Vietnam to Kerry, the love of her small family and the power of the Irish language to overcome loss, racism and online trolls.

Special Edition.

Re-print. Banished Babies will shock and anger anyone who is prepared to confront the truth about Ireland s dark and sordid past.
