NewLedwidgebook

THE official launch of Legends and Stories of the Boyne Side - the Lost Ledwidge Book 1914 will take place on Saturday, August 19th, between 1 - 3pm, during Poetry Reading in Ledwidge Museum Gardens, Drogheda Road, Slane.

Legends & Stories of the Boyneside is an unfinished work of Francis Ledwidge. It was found in a dumper in 1979 and the book was never print finished - until now.

The only prose book by the author, it was commissioned in 1913 by the Drogheda Independent. Serialised in 1914 intending to become a book - which never happened. Lying 60 years in warehouse dust waiting for the dump.
