WILD SHORES The Magic of Ireland's Coastline

Ruairi Conaghan lends his gentle Irish brogue to Nairn's environmental memoir of his journey along the coast of Ireland. Sounding like a kindly professor of science from the nineteenth century, Conaghan enlivens descriptions of the wildness of the cliffs, the sea, the waterfowl, the fish, and the sea mammals with his inviting voice. Listeners will feel like they are hearing not only the voice of the author but also the voices of all the nature travelers Ireland has attracted over the centuries. Nairn weaves stories of notable explorers and scientists, as well as his own story--that of a boy from Northern Ireland who grew up to be a respected naturalist. Both the tale and the teller will transport listeners who love nature and armchair travel. D.G.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
