Sir, – Hugh Oram's survey of the life and achievements of "the Irish literary superstar" Helen Waddell was informative (An Irishman's Diary, June 17th).
While The Wandering Scholars and Peter Abelard may seldom be read, in Magherally, where she spent her later years and is buried, she is not forgotten. Her wonderful poem The Mournes continues to inspire and is enjoyed by her many local admirers. – Yours, etc,
