Local writer launches new book for children in Kilkenny
Local writer Mary Crowe launched her book Ros Bruc: Aoife O’Connor and the Badger’s Wood in Graignamanagh recently.
The book is located firmly in the locality with St Mullins, Tinnahinch, Graig, Ullard and Killoughternane all featuring.
The book tells the story of 12-year-old Aoife and her pet badger who end up in Seventh Century Carlow at the time of St Moling.
There are lepers and plagues, talking wolves, angels in the sky and astonishing miracles of the local saint.
The launch was attended by a large crowd and Mary shared the years of research, travelling around the local area, plotting and writing the book before reading a couple of very entertaining chapters to the captivated audience.
