Description: Voyage of St Brendan, Paperback by Jackson, A. B.; Neeley, Kathleen (ILT), ISBN 1780375662, ISBN-13 9781780375663, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In The Voyage of St Brendan, . Jackson tells the tale of the legendary seafaring Irish abbot in poetry and prose. After burning a book of fantastical stories, Brendan is compelled to sail the ocean with a crew of six monks in a leather-skinned currach; his task, to prove the existence of wonders in the world and create a new book of marvels. Discoveries include Jasconius the island-whale, a troop of Arctic ghosts, a hellmouth of tortured souls, a rock-bound Judas, and the magical castle of the boar-headed Walserands. Although the roots of this legend lie in early Irish tales and the Latin Voyage of Brendan the Abbot of the ninth century, Jackson has taken the 14th-century Middle Dutch version of Brendan’s voyage as the template for this engaging, witty and spirited interpretation, notable for its humour and is beautifully illustrated with a series of black and white linocuts by the American artist Kathleen Neeley, one of which features in color on the cover.
