Can’t lose Cant reprint

We are delighted to announce that we will be reprinting an old favourite of ours: ‘Can’t lose Cant!’. This book is a beautifully illustrated dictionary of Cant words with translations in Irish and English with phonetic symbols to help with the pronunciation of words.

It was made in partnership with St. Conleth’s Senior School, Ballymany Primary School and Kildare County Library over 17 years ago! We recently came across some of the original artwork stashed away in our archive. We will be piecing together an updated version of this book using these fabulous collages.

This reprint is proudly funded by the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
