As the 2015 Book Fair approaches, the organisers are offering you the chance to win a copy of “The Great Delvin” by Hannah Fitzsimons. This is an incredibly rare and valuable book, originally published in 1975.

Part one of the book gives a complete history of Delvin from ancient times to the present day, while part two looks at the archaeology associated with Delvin and delves into areas such as local folklore, ghost stories, local crafts and many other things.

This book will be of interest to both old and new inhabitants of Delvin.

Lines for this special draw are now on sale in local shops.
