Stories from the Sea : Legends, adventures and tragedies of Ireland's coast Hardback
by Jo Kerrigan
Hardback
- Information
Description
Ireland is an island nation, inextricably linked with and dependent upon the sea which surrounds us.
From earliest times, ships from distant lands have brought goods, ideas, invaders, influencers.
Our legends, and particularly the imramma or magical Otherworld voyage tales, show how deep our involvement with the ocean goes. Jo Kerrigan has discovered and retold tales from all around the Irish coast of storms, shipwrecks, pirate attacks and smuggling, as well as shipping stories, both of long distance trading and the little boats which took supplies from major harbours to smaller communities. The sea has an enduring fascination: let Jo's tales and Richard Mills' evocative photographs transport you to the coast to rediscover the tales gathered over the centuries by its communities.
