TheWestern Island: 80th Anniversary Edition
Three miles off the Kerry coast, the Great Blasket Island rose
from the Atlantic like a world apart. Between 1910 and 1930, Dr
Robin Flower lived among its 150 inhabitants – fishing with the
men, sitting with the storytellers, earning the trust of Tomás Ó
Crohan and Peig Sayers – and recorded a way of life on the edge
of disappearance.
First published in 1944, this special edition marks eighty years
since the death of one of the most sympathetic interpreters of
Blasket life ever o set foot on the island.
