So many people in Cork haven't heard of Anne Bonny, Ireland's real-life Pirate of the Caribbean. This year, a public mural about her has regenerated interest in her gripping story. Barry Moloney has been taking people on a Historic Stroll around Kinsale for over 15 years and, in Lockdown, was inspired to share some of his most repeated stories, tales and fascinating facts about his beloved town by writing a book. One of the central characters is of course Anne Bonny, but she is just one of a host revealed and explored as Barry shares his years of experience. This is a must-read for anyone who visits Kinsale, and an accessible way to delve into its fascinating history. Elmarie Mawe met Barry to talk about the book, and they stood in the grounds of St Multose Cathedral. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
