Jimeen was written as Gaelige by Pádraig Ó Siochfhradha (also known as An Seabhac – The Hawk) in 1921. The original Irish title was Jimín Mháire Thaidhg. The title was shorten to Jimeen when this first English translation was published in 1984.
Jimeen tells the story of a youth growing up at the turn of the 20th Century and the many scrapes that he got himself into.
