Here are humorous and touching portraits of lovable Irish fisherfolk. Big, sturdy, kind-hearted Mico Mor, he would be a poor Claddagh fisherman all his life with little book learning beyond the knowledge of boats, winds and tides and the sudden rages of the Galway seas. Not as clever as his fair haired brother nor so favored by his mother, he knew the sorrows in the hearts of his friends. He had a way of being always in the thick of other people's trouble and being born with a mark on his face, the hand of God his simple countrymen called it. And he almost died before he learned to overcome despair and found a girl to share his life. (#09000177)
