Celebrate St Patrick’s Day on Sunday 17 March by relaxing with a great book by an Irish author!
From literary greats such as Oscar Wilde, Bram Stoker, and James Joyce, to popular modern writers including Maggie O’Farrell and Sally Rooney… Ireland has no shortage of amazing authors (to be sure!). Start your St. Pat’s Day reading with one of our selections below or check out some of the Best Books by Irish Authors on Goodreads.
St. Pat’s-related fun facts about this librarian…
- My Nan was Irish so every year, I wear her shamrock brooch and other green clothes and accessories (it’s my favourite colour so that is easy!).
- When I went to Ireland, I had to visit the Long Room Library at Trinity College where I will admit to getting a little bit teary.
- I just noticed today that one of my favourite childhood authors (C.S. Lewis) was born in Ireland.
