Sáirséal agus Dill was a publisher of Irish-language books based in Dublin, Ireland. ==History== The company was founded in 1945 by Seán Sairséal Ó hÉigeartaigh (1917–1967) and his wife Bríd Ní Mhaoileoin, with the help of a legacy left to Seán by his aunt, Elizabeth Dill Smyth.〔Oxford Companion to Irish Literature〕 Seán was the son of historian and writer P. S. O'Hegarty. The first book published was ''Tonn Tuile'', by Séamus Ó Néill, on 30 September 1947. The company quickly became the country’s pioneering and most important Irish-language publishing house and published such illustrious works as Máirtín Ó Cadhain’s ''Cré na Cille'' and the poetry of Seán Ó Ríordáin and Máire Mhac an tSaoi. Other authors included Niall Ó Dónaill, Micheál Mac Liammóir, Donncha Ó Céileachair, Liam Ó Flaithearta, Seán Ó Lúing, Leon Ó Broin and Annraoi Ó Liatháin. Anne Yeats (1919-2001), daughter of poet WB Yeats, designed many of the covers for the company's books over a twenty-year period from 1958.〔Martyn Anglesea (2002), ''Yeats, Anne'' in Brian Lalor (Ed.), ''The Encyclopedia of Ireland''.
