Pigin of Howth by Kathleen Watkins

This utterly delightful picture book introduces children to an unforgettable pig, the beautiful seaside town of Howth on Dublin Bay and many magical adventures. The first book from the pen of Kathleen Watkins, illustrated by Margaret Anne Suggs, will capture the imaginations of children everywhere.

Kathleen Watkins was a well-known harpist and folk singer when she became the first continuity announcer to appear on screen on Telefís Éireann's launch night in 1960. She married the broadcaster Gay Byrne and lived for many years in Howth where the Pigín stories are set.

Margaret Anne Suggs was born and raised in the American deep South, but later moved to Dublin, Ireland to pursue her Master's Degree at the National College of Art and Design. When she is not drawing, painting and making things, she teaches as a lecturer in the Illustration department at Ballyfermot College of Further Education where she founded the Illustration course. She lives in County Dublin, near the sea with her husband, sons and cat.
