Send us Fan Mail
In this episode, Shawn delivers part two of his Tales of Ireland series, focusing on the voyage of a certain monk who lived in the southwestern portion of the Emerald Isle: St. Brendan.
Brendan sets out across the North Atlantic in search of the Promised Land of the Saints and an Island of Earthly Delights. (He is a man of the cloth, so it is not what you are thinking.) On this seven-year adventure, he finds himself on top of a giant fish, sees the devil and the betrayer of Jesus, reaches the coasts of Hell, and, of course, encounters talking birds and giant sheep.
