    'There hasn't been [a coffee guide] I've found, where someone has visited each of the places, experienced it for themselves and taken all the shots. I found that personal side of the book very nice, and I hope others take that away from reading it.'

Hubert Butler

Described as the 'Irish George Orwell', essayist and humanitarian Hubert Butler was born in Kilkenny in 1900. His published works include Escape from the Anthill (1985, 2025), Ten Thousand Saints (1972), In the Land of Nod (1996) and The Appleman and the Poet (2014).

Educated in England at Charterhouse and St John’s College, Oxford, he travelled throughout Europe during the twenties and thirties before returning in 1941 to Kilkenny, where he lived until his death in 1991.

During WWII, Butler relocated to Austria, where he assisted Jewish refugees in escaping to Ireland. His experiences during the war led to Butler writing extensively about fighting fascism.

The Hubert Butler Essay Prize is an annual award given in honour of Butler to encourage the art of essay-writing with a European dimension. It was founded by Jeremy O'Sullivan and is supported by the Kilkenny Arts Festival.
