A photo of writer Caroline Pignat at Newgrange, Ireland. She has her grey hair pulled back into a ponytail and is seen wearing a turquoise zip jacket in the centre of the frame, talking to a man. In the foreground is a massive stone, etched with intricate spirals. In the background are tall stone-bricked walls, and dark entrances to places unknown.

In today's #underthecover, award-winning Irish-Canadian author Caroline Pignat takes us on a tour of the Irish locations and lore that feature into her new book for middle-grade readers, THE DISCOVERY OF FINNEGAN WILDE (@thistledownpress.bsky.social).
