There are times when we hear a story that is so compelling it makes us question our beliefs. This is one such tale, told to me by a sailor of high local repute, and integrity of character. It was recounted with such conviction that it etched itself into my brain, and I was compelled to write it down so it would not be lost to the waves forever. This is the story of Patrick Lennon, passed on by him as best he can remember given the ravages of time and obsession on his mind. Born in the 19th Century, he made his living forging across the perilous Irish Sea between Cork and Cardigan Bay, These times spawned many a tale of mermaids some were devils, and some were saviours. In Patrick Lennon's case he fell in love, and that was his downfall.

The Grimms called them The Quiet Folk, in Māori they are Patupaiarehe, in Wales Y Tylwyth Teg : hidden people who live unseen, speak their own languages and move around like migrants, shrouded from our eyes – like those who lived in the utopian world of Plant Rhys Ddwfn off the west Welsh coast, where this book begins. In mythology, lost lands are coral castles beneath the sea, ancient forests where spirits live, and mountain swamps where trolls lurk. Strip away the mythology, and they become valleys and villages flooded to provide drinking water to neighbouring kingdoms, campsites where travellers are told they can't travel, and reservations where the rights of first nations people are ignored. The folk tales in this book tell of these lost lands and hidden people, remembered through migrations, dreams and memories.
