The Lilliput Press is one of Ireland’s smallest and most prestigious publishing houses. It was founded in 1984 by Antony Farrell, in County Westmeath. Jonathan Swift spent his summers in a house nearby, and derived the name Lilliput from a local townland. The office was moved to its present locale in Arbour Hill, Stoneybatter, Dublin 7, in 1989. Since its inception, Lilliput has published over 600 titles of Irish interest, ranging from art and architecture, autobiography and memoir, biography and history, ecology and environmentalism, to essays and literary criticism, philosophy, current affairs and popular culture, fiction, drama and poetry. The Lilliput Press is known for discovering exciting new talents such as Donal Ryan, Adriran Duncan, Rob Doyle, Elske Rahill and Alice Lyons. Their backlist also includes some of Ireland’s greatest writers such as James Joyce, J.P. Donleavy, Hubert Butler, and John Moriarty. Lilliput champions the centrality of the book in Irish life and culture, and are very proud to continue to nurture writing of the highest calibre.
