Acair are delighted to announce a new series of fiction books called Feuch Ficsean which they will be publishing through a partnership with The Gaelic Books Council.
Feuch Ficsean is a new series of books aimed at attracting people to reading in Gaelic. These novellas are by different authors and about different topics, with a wide range of characters. Each title contains a glossary as well as online resources, audiobooks and soundbites.
The first book of the series, Soraidh Slàn le Hallaig by Maoilios Campbell, will be published in July at a launch
event which will take place at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. This will be held on Wednesday 23.07.25 at 7pm in Talla
Dhonaidh Chaimbeil where you’ll hear Maoilios in conversation about his new book, further information on this exciting new series of books from representatives of Acair as well as the opportunity to ask questions. There will also be some local entertainment and a warm welcome awaits everyone!
Angus Morrison, Acair Manager, said: “We are delighted to launch the first title in this new series of books which we hope will encourage people to read in Gaelic. There has been a need for a series of this type, which assists and encourages people to start to read in Gaelic. With resources such as a glossary and audiobooks, we are hopeful that this series will lead to an increase in the numbers of people reading and enjoying Gaelic literature.”
John Storey, Head of Literature and Publishing at the Gaelic Books Council, said: “We’re pleased to support Acair and their new series. There has been a lot of hard work behind the scenes developing these titles and we’re looking forward to seeing the books in print.”
Acair are grateful to the Gaelic Books Council and Bòrd na Gàidhlig for their support and funding.
