Several languages are represented; English, Welsh, Irish, Scots Gaelic & Manx, along with countless accents & dialects. Its waters teem with life; dolphins & porpoises are a common sight; leatherback turtles come here from the Caribbean to feed on the jellyfish & whales are regular visitors. In the air there are gulls, puffins, guillemots & more. The range of challenges & coastlines is astonishing. Tides above five knots are commonplace & yet there are calm, sheltered waters for relaxed wandering. This completely new pilot covers both sides of the Irish Sea from Milford Haven to Portpatrick, & Rathlin Island to Carnsore Point.

In 1916, Eamon de Valera arrived on the Irish scene & as a result, so we are told, the fairies left. Such combining of fact & folklore is the essence of this fascinating history which describes the tragedies & poverty of those years, yet brims with cultural, domestic & political detail. Comments by contemporary writers, both famous & obscure, are seamlessly woven into the text, as are direct memories of those who lived through the events described. ” From the Trade Paperback edition.” ...
