and writer from Northern
Ireland. She is the author
of numerous children’s
books, including ‘When
Dad Was Away’ and

being the first winner of the
International Storybridge
Award and three
nominations for the Astrid

Talk by Philip Orr
Belfast author and
playwright
‘The Ards Peninsula was
one of the hot-beds of
the United Irish rebellion
of 1798. Among the
leaders were Presbyterian
clergymen who preached
revolution to their flocks, all
the way from Greyabbey
to Portaferry. The Reverend
Steele Dickson of Portaferry
is one of the most
fascinating of these men.
This talk will tell his story
along with the story of many
others who took part in a
bloody insurrection whose
stirring details were passed
down to future generations
in such popular books as
WG Little’s Betsy Gray and
the Hearts of Down’
