THE comprehensive work of the late author, journalist and poet Stanislaus Lynch, In Search of the Kerry Beagle, received much praise at its launch at the National Hound Show at Stradbally last weekend.

Editor of The Irish Field, Leo Powell, officially launched the book at Stradbally on behalf of its editor and contributor Noel Mullins into whose care Margaret Lynch entrusted the unfinished work of her late husband who passed away in 1983.
