DUBLIN CITY Council found a book that readers could really get their teeth into when they chose this year’s offering for their One City, One Book initiative.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula will be promoted in events around the city this month in the annual project, which encourages people to read a book connected with Dublin during April.
Bram Stoker was born in Dublin in 1847 and educated at Trinity College. His great-grandson Noel Dobbs was in Dublin yesterday. “We are very proud of Bram but he died 25 years before I was born so I never met him . . . the family background to the writing of Dracula was a dinner of dressed crab and a terrible nightmare.”
