Fifty years of Folens: The making of a Christmas tradition
Rory Hickey's father, principal of Moyderwell Primary School Tralee shared photos of his son enjoying the annuals with Folens as a thank you.
Christmas wouldn't be complete without the most exciting delivery of the school year, the arrival of the Folens Christmas annuals. Súgradh, Spraoi, Siamsa, and Sonas have been gracing our classrooms for 50 years now, providing endless entertainment for children and quiet moments for grateful parents every December.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the educational books, which are filled with new and exciting puzzles, stories, and activities every year. To celebrate, we chatted to the editor of the annuals, Lynn Fitzpatrick, about what goes into the making of the Christmas traditions.
