Horses and Tortoises, Stories from Africais a collection of 10 short stories for children, written and illustrated by women from the African Women's Network, with assistance from writer Siobhan Parkinson and artist Felicity Clear. The project is part of the Hugh Lane Gallery's community programme, and the purpose of the book is to provide a resource through which Irish children can learn about traditional African culture. It will be sent to every primary school in the country, as well as to libraries, but won't be on general sale – unless a publisher takes it up.
