The Book Centre on High Street, Kilkenny resembled a classroom on Thursday night of last week for the appearance of one of Kilkenny’s most popular writers.
There were children everywhere for the launch of Helena Duggan’s new book, The Battle for Perfect, the third in her 'Perfect’ trilogy.
Yvonne O’Brien of the Book Centre said it was wonderful to have the place full and it was a reflection of Helena’s popularity.
“It was a great launch and Helena is so accommodating,” Yvonne said.
