New Book Marks Famous Hotel’s Centenary

Arnolds Hotel in Donegal, so well-known to thousands of Northern Ireland guests, has been celebrating its Centenary this year with the recent publication of a new paperback book by the Dunfanaghy Writers’ Circle

Titled “The Jacaranda Tree”, it contains a selection of new poems and prose by writers from all over Northern Ireland and also Dublin, who have attended the hotel’s weekend workshops in Dunfanaghy under the direction of the author and well-known Belfast Telegraph journalist Alf McCreary. He has selected and edited the contributions, and he has produced the publication together with the distinguished Holywood book designer Wendy Dunbar

The writers featured in The Jacaranda Tree include two former barristers, a former primary school vice-principal, a former bookseller, a career nurse, a poet, a writer based in Dublin, and a former deputy mayor of Coleraine who is currently a member of the Causeway Coast and Glens Council.

The Jacaranda Tree, selected and edited by Alf McCreary, is on sale now.
