A wild frontier of mighty headlands, sheer crags rising from the sea and miles of lonely golden sands – Ireland’s coastline is foreboding, exhilarating and achingly beautiful.Men and women have lived and loved and died in this harsh but bountiful environment. Through it all they have told tales to entertain themselves, to pass on wisdom and to banish despair. It is little wonder that our richest folklore is woven into this island’s rugged and romantic coastline.Brought together and reimagined by modern-day seanchaí Colin Urwin, this collection includes some of the most enchanting, strange and poignant folk tales to be found on this ancient isle.

COLIN URWIN is a modern-day Seanchaí. He is a folk-singer, songwriter, oral storyteller, and author of a number of folk-tale collections. Steeped for a lifetime in the language, folklore and traditions of his beloved Glens of Antrim, Colin has long been exposed to traditional Irish and Scottish music, song and story. He is most inspired by the people and places, the history and legends, and the sheer, rugged romance of the north-east coast of Ireland. From these he conjures up many of his beautiful ballads, magical rhyming monologues and delicately woven tales of wonder. Colin regularly appears at local storytelling and music events for schools, libraries, a wide range of community and business groups, and at storytelling festivals and conferences all over the world.
