Cavan Author launches new kids' book. A new book written by a Cavan grandmother tells kids today what it was like growing up in an Ireland where children roamed the countryside during long, hot summer days and picked blackberries in the autumn.
Ann O'Donoghue, from Swellan, has created the characters for "Orla, Mary and a Monster Called Seán"; with her own grandchildren in mind.
