Welcome to Quirky Tales

Every quarter a group of writers and illustrators gather in Ardagh Heritage and Creativity Centre, Ardagh, Co. Longford under the guidance of Eileen Moynihan to eat cake, laugh, listen to and look at each other’s work.
    All are passionate about the world of the imagination and about creating stories, poems and art for children. Eileen organises a full learning experience each time, bringing inspirational writers and illustrators along to share their skills.
    As a result of that gathering and a call out for illustrations participants in the SCBWI Ireland - Midlands social group is now getting ready to launch their first book of stories and poems for children, Quirky Tales. We were delighted to receive pictures from far and near and from old and young. Details of the launch and how to get your copy will be added here soon. We hope you enjoy meeting the characters and joining in their adventures!
