Climb the tallest mountain, fish in the biggest lake and taste the local delicacies. With Irelandopedia you can become an expert on your home country or explore places you have never even heard of.

Illustrator, Kathi ‘Fatti’ Burke, has been voted one of 2014’s ‘Women to Watch’, featured in 2015 as a ‘Rising Female Star’ by the Irish Independent and described as an ‘Illustrator Extraordinaire’ by Image Magazine. John Burke is a retired primary school teacher who has travelled the length and breadth of Ireland on his bicycle. About working on the book, Kathi said:

“It was so lovely to work on this book with my Dad. Growing up he always taught me about Irish trivia and traditions and now with Irelandopedia other parents can pass that knowledge on to their kids too.”

Irelandopedia will be published by Gill Books on Friday 23rd October 2015, priced at €24.99.
