Have you met PigÝn?

PigÝn lives in Howth, a beautiful seaside town of Dublin Bay, and he is a very popular pig about town! He is friendly, curious, impeccably dressed and has the nicest manners a pig could possibly have. His adventures in Howth and beyond include friends Sammy Seal, Sally Seagull, The Badger of Ballsbridge and the fairies who live in Howth Castle – but Nanakit is his best friend.

Join PigÝn and his friends on their many adventures:

Story 1: Pigs Can’t Fly, but They Can Swim!

Story 2: PigÝn’s Magical Midnight Adventure

Story 3: A Day to Wear a Top Hat

In these three stories PigÝn earns how to swim, goes on a magic carpet ride and even gets to meet the President of Ireland! But best of all is coming home to tell Nanakit all about it.

PigÝn is the adorable creation from the wonderful imagination of Kathleen Watkins, who became a first-time author at the age of 82, and is based on the stories Kathleen told her grandchildren when they were growing up. PigÝn is brought to life with beautiful illustrations by Margaret Anne Suggs.

A beautiful book written by a beautiful woman for beautiful children Ryan Tubridy
