Wood of the Stony Land is a new book about to be launched on Saturday, August 24 at the Corlea Visitor Trackway Centre at 3.45pm.
This is the first book by the author Martin Carberry and it is based on his growing up in the Bord na Mona housing estate of Derryhaun.
Martin got his education in Cloontagh National School before going on to the Vocational School Lanesboro.
From a deeply rooted local Derryhaun family widely known for their Irish musical and dancing excellence Martin adds to the Carberry culture with his own book.
He also includes ten of his own oil paintings and relevant poems revealing the added artistic ability that flourishes within the Carberry family.
In 1971 his family moved to Manchester and later Martin returned to live in Donegal in 1985 where he lives to this very day. Martin never lost his love of his home community and the wonderful memories it gave him and this book tells of that story.
The book gets its name from where Martin grew up playing in the townsland of Derryglogher meaning the ‘wood of the Stony Land’.
Saturday week should be a great event and everybody is welcome to go along and celebrate with one of our own.
