Description

This is a sequel to the best-selling The Wind That Round the Fastnet Sweeps. In it John M. Feehan continues his odyssey from Crookhaven up the coast of Kerry to the Skelling Rocks and the Blasket Islands. It follows the same pattern – a little sailing, a little thinking, a little laughing, a little drinking and once again we meet a marvellous collection of those strange and unusual characters who always seem to run across the author's path and which he describes with such understanding and humanity. John M. Feehan was born near Cashel, Co. Tipperary, and was educated at Thurles C.B.S., Colaiste Eanna, Rockwell College and University College, Galway. After a number of years in the army, where he attained the rank of Captain, he founded The Mercier Press and took up publishing as a full-time career. He is the author of Tomorrow To Be Brave and An Irish Publisher and His World.
