Hello Hinterland Book Introduction

Hello Hinterland, written by Martin Holohan & Illustrated by Clare Lynch, is a collection of illustrated Stories and Poetry, Rhymes, Observations and Folk Tales celebrating the connections between culture and heritage in the wide and embracing landscape of Fingal County on the East Coast of Ireland.

About the Author:

Martin Holohan is a storyteller living in Lusk, County Dublin. Martin loves to spend his time writing, cycling, singing, and not least travelling, especially by train across Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales. Hello Hinterland is his Debut Collection of illustrated stories.

In this collection, the author has adopted the old role of Seanchai, the Bard, and the Poet of Irish Tales… and in that regard is of sorts a ‘Lore Keeper’

Lore Keepers are embedded in Irish Folklore and are particularly attracted to the Land themselves, especially where they currently live. It is their defining attribute to seek out and explore the spots and places that still have a strong spirit of the Myths and Legends of old.

The Lore Keeper aims to mix and match the past and present so as to bring New Tales and Observations from our beautiful island, Ėire.

About the Artist:

Clare Lynch is a Dublin based illustrator and Graphic Designer. Clare loves creating and designing – from drawing and painting to computer–based projects in graphic design and illustration. In her spare time, she enjoys tennis, cycling, drama, travelling and reading.
