<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Traditional tales retold by a professional storyteller<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Sail away to a land of shipwrecks and smugglers, priests and press-gang, kings and Vikings! Scilly has been its own unique land for centuries, apart from England, even apart from Cornwall, yet its folk tales have been poorly documented. This long-awaited volume brings the wonderful landscape of Scilly to life and is the ideal companion for both visitors to the islands and residents. Take this volume in your pocket and as you travel the islands by boat or on foot and you can relive every tale in the book.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>MIKE O'CONNOR is a respected professional musician and storyteller who performs at folk, literary and storytelling festivals across the country.
