<\/a><\/p>\n\nMy copy of What If? A Chronicle of What Might Have Been<\/i>, edited and illustrated by Sligo illustrator Annie West, arrived a couple of days ago and what a gorgeous and funny book it is, and I’m not just saying that because I’m one of the contributors! The majority of the contributors are Irish writers and so there’s a lot of Irish history “What Ifs”, for example one involving \u00c9amon de Valera and one involving Michael Collins.
