Jimeen can't seem to stay out of trouble - he just can't resist it, whether it's tormenting his sister, Cit, a night out 'on the Wren', trying to steal lobsters, or scouring the countryside for spies. A drowned cat, a drunken goose, the whole neighbourhood out searching all night - these are the results of Jimeen's pranks. Popular for years in the Irish language, this translation means that a whole new audience can join in the fun.

Kieron Black is an artist, writer, husband, father, surfer, snowboarder and skateboarder, although not necessarily in that order. As a successful landscape painter, specialising mostly in mountains, he has exhibited across the UK, Europe and New York. He has also illustrated several children's books including Boo!!! Said the Banshee at home in Ireland and is currently wrestling with the umpteenth draft of a full-length novel, though the almost constant `surf breaks' seem to be impeding this somewhat. The Goblin's Blue Blanket is his first self-penned children's book. Kieron lives by the beach in Northern Ireland with his wife and daughter and a collection of annoying, furry creatures that eat everything and put paw prints all over his artwork.
