It was by coracle that the early Celts made journeys on the sea roads of their time. A coracle is a tiny vessel, yet it is sufficient to carry one soul on a whole voyage. This collection of poems is about voyages, both real and figurative; journeys of many kinds. It is about facing danger and doubt with faith - against all the odds.

<p><i>The Spirit of the Hebrides</i>combines the poetry of Kenneth Steven with the photography of Alastair Jackson and features images of Skye and Raasay in homage to one of Scotland's leading 20th century poets, Sorley McLean.&nbsp; <div><br /></div> <div><i>The Spirit of the Hebrides</i>explores islands as places to be discovered; places which shy away from recognition, yet are in some way familiar. Kenneth Steven's poetry reflects on the link between people and the land; how identity is shaped by wild places; the passing of many of the old ways of the Hebrides; the enduring beauty of these islands; the hospitality of their people and the depth of their spiritual awareness. <div><br /></div> <div>Alastair Jackson's photography captures the wilder and remoter parts of Skye and Raasay, often in bad weather, but showing a glimmer of sunshine and hope on the horizon. His wide horizons and stormy sky offer a glimpse into both the turbulent past and the deep spirituality of the Hebrides. This book uniquely captures the spirit of the Hebrides.</div> <div><br /></div> <div>*Longlisted for the Highland Book Prize 2019.&nbsp;</div> </div> "The result is a beautiful and evocative book that explores the land and seascapes of these islands, their vast skies and their resilient, shifting beauty in all seasons and weathers" -- Highland Book Prize 2019</p>

Kenneth Steven brings together the great tradition of storytelling and his own gentle Christian faith, assuring children of Gods comforting presence  even in difficult situations. -  Each story is a great read for children while also being underpinned by a moral point firmly rooted in the Christian faith. - The drawings, created by Katharine Wake, add a charming visual dimension to the clear and elegant prose. - The Ravens Tale and other stories may be read aloud to children of all ages.   'When the world was still quite young, a group of animals and birds lived together in a beautiful valley far away. There were high hills up above and sweet meadows running through the valley, and at the heart of everything was a great deep blue river that wound like a snake towards the sea.'
