About: This short chapter gives an account of fraughan picking in the Hollywood area, especially in the Glenbride Valley in the early decades of the twentieth-century. It was one of the few areas in West Wicklow that was a good source of fraughans. A driving force behind the activity was local curate and eccentric, Fr. Patrick Kavanagh. As with the book as a whole, this chapter accentuates the human interest dimension.
