Destined to be a classic, the first children's book from Kathleen
Watkins (aka Nanakit) brings to life the Pigin stories she created
for her five beloved grandchildren. Have you met Pigin? Pigin lives
in Howth, a beautiful seaside town on 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. Join Pigin
and his friends, Sammy Seal, Sally Seagull, the Badger of
Ballsbridge and the fairies who live in Howth Castle, on their many
adventures. Story 1: Pigs Can't Fly, but They Can Swim! Story 2:
Pigin's Magical Midnight Adventure Story 3: A Day to Wear a Top Hat
In these three stories Pigin learns 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 'Genuinely
whimsical' Kirkus Review 'A delight' The Sunday Times 'A beautiful
book. Just lovely, warm and kindly' Ryan Tubridy 'Adorable and
prettily illustrated' Irish Mail on Sunday 'Gorgeous book and
written with real warmth and affection!' Marty Whelan 'Delightful
... great fun!' Sunday Independent
Join Pigin on an unexpected trip - all the way to London! Pigin is
enjoying a wonderful summer party at the fairies' place behind
Howth Castle when he holds one balloon too many, and up into the
air he goes! Luckily, the Green Bird is flying overhead and the
captain manages to pull Pigin in the cockpit window. And so his
unexpected adventure begins ... Pigin enjoys visiting the sights in
London: a trip to Buckingham Palace, a ride on the River Thames and
even a go around the London Eye. What a wonderful time he has! But
when he sees Nanakit waiting for him at Dublin airport he realises
there's no place like home.
