  Sweeney’s Progress. Vol. 1. The Curse of Ronan

  It’s springtime and the warring tribes of Ireland are on the rampage. Sweeney leads his men, with the priest, Ronan Finn, in tow to bless the souls of the dying. When Sweeney flouts the rules of battle he is cursed and cast adrift to wander half-man, half-bird, through the wilds of Ireland. Humiliated and fearful the wilderness breaks him down before slowly restoring him to his humanity. Sweeney’s Progress is the retelling of the medieval Irish poem, Buile Suibhne. An eco-fable and hymn to the natural world as a place of trial and healing.
