Eoin Colfer: From Artemis Fowl to the Apocalypse

This event has ended

Merrion Square Park, Saturday 27th May

“Whether he’s cloud gazing or saving the world, author Eoin Colfer has so many stories up his sleeve, it’s a wonder they don’t all fall out! Expect stellar storytelling, endless jokes, and plenty of questions from the audiences as we get inside the mind of the mastermind behind the criminal escapades of Artemis Fowl, the heartwarming story of Starr in Little Big Sister, and climate change graphic novel Global.

Eoin Colfer is a Wexford-born writer. He published his first book, Benny and Omar in 1998, and hasn’t stopped since! His now infamous Artemis Fowl series continues apace and he loves collaborating with artists and illustrators on picture books and graphic novels. He was Ireland’s Children’s Laureate between 2014 and 2016, and still wears the medal, even in the bath.”
