Book Launch : THE ISLANDS OF THE FERGUS ESTUARY



 Jackie Elger, with Delores Meany have produced a wonderful
new book /*The Islands of the Fergus Estuary*/.

This book looks at the Fergus Islands of Co Clare, Ireland, lying on the
estuary stretching from Clarecastle to Shannon and Kildysart. 

It examines the larger islands - their history, archaeology and folklore as
well as the people who lived there. Their history is a microcosm of Co
Clare's history - from the monastic foundations of the early saints to a
medieval Augustinian Abbey, from the castles of the Irish chieftains
through Cromwellian times to the era of English landlords. It also
presents a current photographic record of the islands plus a selection
of older photographs (and memories) of past inhabitants.

The book is being launched at *Kildysart Hall on Friday 13 December at
8.00pm*.
