John Feehan sailed, all by himself, in a small boat around the coast of West Cork in a search for this Land of the Heart's Desire, this Isle of the Blest. The result is a book which is not only a penetrating spiritual odyssey, but also a magnificent account of the wild rugged coastline, the peaceful harbours, and the strange unique characters he mt in this unspoiled corner or Ireland." ; John Feehan was born in County Tipperary and educated at Thurles CBS. Rockwell College and University College, Galway. After a number of years in the regular army he resigned to devote his life to a literary and business career. ; FINE.
