Road to Snugville Street

"Why had he not tried to kiss Annie under the peacock aura of a drowning Carrickfergus moon?"

"Uniquely, authentically and enjoyably Belfast." Tony Macaulay, author of Paperboy

​Snugville Street
Bursting with the charm and grit of working class Belfast, this novel centres around a French exchange and is set between France and Northern Ireland. Etienne arrives from France to a great commotion of pipes, Hannah turns a few heads at the fest noz in Brittany and identity as we know it is turned on its head. This is Belfast as you've never seen it before. "An enjoyable coming-of-age tale with a Belfast twist." (The Irish Times).
The Secret Diary of Stephanie Agnew

"Angeline King journals the joyful, mischievous, innocent and infectious voice of teenager Stephanie Agnew, coming of age in the testing terrain of Northern Ireland in 1995. Stephanie has the same crazy daydreams as many of her age: good grades and romance, and poetic ambitions she delves deeper into a love of language, her locale's fascinating history and an awakening to Ireland's complex and shared history. Like many others of that time, escape is on her mind too. You can't help falling for Stephanie's charm, nor her caring family that's proud to be from the Orange tradition, thanks to King's rich voice and sharp ear. A touching take, with plenty of smart observational comedy on 1990s Northern Ireland that will appeal to fans of Lisa Magee."

​NJ McCarrigle, The Irish Times.


Dusty Bluebells

"You could imagine Dusty Bluebells as a period drama on the BBC...Angeline King brings a rich, cultural history to life in a family saga spanning 50 years...Pithy with Ulster Scots, old rhymes, cures and sayings, there is a sense of magic to it all. A book to warm your heart on a cold winter’s night." Ruth McKee, The Irish Times

"Past haunts present across the generations. King gets inside her people...More Jessie Kesson than Kailyard." The Courrier, The Press & Journal, Scotland

​"As the first ever Festival-trained lead dancer of Riverdance, I am delighted to see this book."
Lauren Smyth, former lead dancer, Riverdance.

"A wonderful historical record of dancing in Ulster. I have taught festival Irish dancing, Sean-nos dancing, set dancing and Cape Breton dancing, so this book helped me make sense of all the various styles that I've practised throughout the years." Robert Hunter, dance teacher, County Antrim.

"Irish Dancing: The Festival Story is the book that fills the gap in the long and wonderful history of Irish Dance. Highlighting the unique way that the style not only kept alive the form and grace of the dance, but allowed a shared culture to thrive despite its community being, at times, torn apart." Les Baird, Adjudicator, Spain.
"...for big weans and wee weans."
