The Orlagh Rose stories are original stories written by Shauna Dunlop, the founder of Emain Publications for her beautiful daughter Orlagh.

There are 40 stories in total that Shauna wrote for Orlagh while she was ill in hospital as a way of helping her through her illness. The stories are full of magic and adventure and based on real things that they did together as a family before Orlagh got ill at 6 months old.

The 40 stories were written each day over 40 days by Shauna for Orlagh, she would write the beginning of the story each night before she went to bed and then finish it for the next morning when she would read the whole story to Orlagh. For every day that Orlagh was in their lives over this very precious period, Shauna promised her a new story.

When Orlagh passed away at only 9 months old after a very courageous and amazing fight against her illness, her determination, love of life and sense of curiosity and adventure gave Shauna the courage to set up Emain Publications in her honour and gave her a way to share her beautiful story with all who loved her.
