Beanie the Bansheenie is a captivating new addition to the world of Irish folklore, crafted by the renowned author of Artemis Fowl, Eoin Colfer, and beautifully illustrated by Steve McCarthy. This enchanting tale invites readers into the life of Beanie, a spirited young banshee determined to rewrite her own destiny.
In a realm where banshees are often feared as harbingers of doom, Beanie embarks on a remarkable adventure that challenges the status quo. Emerging from her prickly gorse bush, she is destined to form a bond with a human, revealing their most intimate secrets, including the timing of their death. Yet, when she encounters Rose—a vibrant little girl—Beanie makes a courageous choice to protect rather than to foretell.
Throughout her journey, Beanie uncovers ancient secrets of the natural world, leading her to profound self-discovery and bravery. Eoin Colfer and Steve McCarthy's collaboration brings forth a heartwarming story that not only inspires hope but also challenges the conventional boundaries of fate.
Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in the magic of Beanie the Bansheenie. This delightful tale is an essential read for anyone who treasures exceptional storytelling and the indomitable spirit of humanity.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
