PICS: These 13 school books will terrify Irish people of a certain age

Paul Moore

Remember these?

We all have our unique memories of primary and secondary school but I’m confident in saying that quite a lot of people will remember these books.

Anyone else remember Pól Peist, Áine Asal agus Micí Madra?

Like a creepy stalker, this book seemed like it followed you around from 1st – 6th year. It just wouldn’t go away.
