The History Press Ltd The Man Who Talked To The Wind : And Other Rathlin Folk Tales From The Tommy Cecil Archive

Swept by strong ocean currents and ferocious storms, Rathlin Island is mysterious and hauntingly beautiful.Lying just six miles off the north coast of County Antrim, it is the most northerly inhabited island of Ireland.Once home to prehistoric hunter-gatherers, its inhabitants have endured Viking raids, medieval massacres, famine and emigration.As farmers, fishermen and seafarers, they are resourceful, independent and proud – and they have always enjoyed a good story. Drawing on Irish and Scottish traditions, Rathlin has a rich folk heritage all its own.Much of it may have been lost but for one island man – Tommy Cecil.Best known for rescuing Sir Richard Branson after his hot-air balloon ditched into the sea off Rathlin, Cecil was also instrumental in saving many of the island’s old stories.Taken from recordings held in the Ulster Folk Museum, this unique collection brings these stories to print for the first time.
