The Tobacco Fields of Meath by Liam Nevin

Tobacco is not a crop most people associate with the Irish climate. Believe it or not though, it has been grown here and successfully too. Liam Nevin tells the story in The Tobacco Fields of Meath. The book charts the history of the Randlestown experiment: when a group of families at the turn of the 20th century sought to alleviate the hardship of their conditions resulting from unemployment, which was endemic at the time as was its consequence, emigration. 

In telling this story he had unique access of the private papers of his grandfather, John Nevin, a tobacco instructor who was very much at the heart of the project. These papers have been made publicly available for the first time. He also introduces us to the important figure of Nugent T. Everard, a progressive landlord who felt a calling in life that stretched beyond social class.

A Woeful Tale by Derrick Cranpole

Derrick Cranpole's first volume of poetry was published to great reception earlier this year by The Manuscript Publisher. A Woeful Tale has now been published in Kindle too and is available to buy on Amazon. Cranpole puts himself forward as the conscience and voice of seafishermen and coastal communities. A bold and fearless voice it is too. What he has to say may not sit comfortably with officialdom; but it is his bold and forthright way of expressing his views that makes his poetry wryly funny and endearing. A Woeful Tale is also wonderfully illustrated with drawings by Cranpole himself, which are exhibited on his Facebook page. Copies of the printed edition are still available to buy online - price €9.99 plus P&P.
