    About the Book

    Edit

    An Artists Book.

    Bizarre and beautiful stories abound about the Atlantic ocean.

    Medieval writers tell us that St. Brendan the Navgator sailed out in a curragh with 14 monks to find the Promised Land of the Saints; the Voyage of Maeldune tells of a man who encountered many of the same strange islands as Brendan on his voyage to avenge his father's death. There are many accounts of Hy Brasil, an Island to the west of Ireland which was actually plotted on maps up until the 17th century...

    Journeys of the imagination, the imagining of journeys, allegory, fantasy, navigational information or religious instruction: these tales may be any of these things. Not quite understanding them is part of their intrigue.
