New Book Listowel: The Writer's Revenge Newbridge Launch Friday May 30th
Local Talent on display in Listowel Writer's Week
A new children's book featuring the writing talents of Mario
Corrigan from Kildare Library & Arts Services and the artistic talents of
David Butler from Pfizer, both originally from Kildare Town, will be launched
as part of the Listowel Writer's Festival on Sunday 1 June.
The pair first collaborated in Kildare in 2011 on a kids
book, entitled, Do Fish Wear Pyjamas? This
book was designed as an innovative and creative way to target young people and encourage reading and creative writing; to introduce
history/heritage in a fun setting and allow the imagination to run free.
Do Fish
Wear Pyjamas? The Quest for The Great Book of Kildare was conceived from
the imagination of local children and launched during One Book, One Kildare and
Children's Book Month in 2011. It was also converted into an e-book.
In 2013 Mario brought the idea
to Listowel and to Roscommon visiting five schools and almost 250 children.
David then came on board to bring the works to life. This has now been
developed into two works of fiction based on the children's own areas though
the Roscommon book will not be launched until the Siarscéal Festival at
Halloween.
However the lads are honoured to
have their work showcased at Listowel Writer's Week where it will be launched
on Sunday 1 June as part of the National Children's Literary Festival. The
children who took part in the initial phase will be present and each will
receive a free book, the profits of which will be ploughed back into the
Children's Festival.
It is a thrilling adventure
based on actual historic events, but with a dark hint of the supernatural and
the Festival reviewers have given it a heady thumbs up.
As the book will only be
available in Listowel, the lads have decided to have a soft launch in Newbridge
Library on Friday May, to mark the occasion of the appearance of the book in
their home county. It will be a night of memorable launches!
As part of JuneFest in Newbridge
the library will unveil specially commissioned pieces depicting the life of St.
Conleth which were created by David Butler on Friday 30 May at 7 p.m. That same
night John Coffey will launch his photographic exhibition, also in the library
but at 8 p.m.
All are welcome
