Are you ready to celebrate some remarkable Irish people (and animals) you've probably never heard of?! Well then, check out The Forgettables - by Myles Dungan and illustrated by Alan Dunne.
They're duo that brought us The Great Irish History Book have teamed up again – this time for a book about some really fascinating and extraordinary Irish men, women animals that should be more famous than they are!
