Dána Gránna

Dána Gránna, Nasty Words for People is a very special handmade book by Redfox Press in collaboration with Manchán Magan. Beautifully handbound, this hard-cover, thread-bound book contains 42 Irish words for nasty people collected by Manchán. These are accompanied by 42 drawings by Antic-Ham, who also designed the book. 

Highlights include;
Tiarpa-A fleshy, round-bummed person. A load carried low on one's back. 
Gandal- An awkward person. Senseless talker. Cackler. A male goose. 

Other publications from Redfox Press include Sea Tamagotchi and Marie Howett.

Manchán Magan is a writer and documentary-maker. He has written books on his travels in Africa, India and South America and two novels. He has made dozens of documentaries on issues of world culture for TG4, RTÉ  & Travel Channel. He lives in an oak wood, with bees and hens, in a grass-roofed house near Lough Lene, Co Westmeath.
