'I felt like one who had first betrayed and then deserted a stricken friend; a friend with whom for the past fourteen years I had spent more time at sea than on land, and who, when not at sea, had seldom been out of my thoughts.' The first of the three voyages described in In Mischief's Wake gives H.W. 'Bill' Tilman's account of the final voyage and loss of Mischief, the Bristol Channel pilot cutter in which he had sailed over 100,000 miles to high latitudes in both Arctic and Antarctic waters. Back home, refusing to accept defeat and going against the advice of his surveyor, he takes ownership of Sea Breeze, built in 1899; 'a bit long in the tooth, but no more so, in fact a year less, than her prospective owner'. After extensive remedial work, his first attempt at departure had to be cut short when the crew 'enjoyed a view of the Isle of Wight between two of the waterline planks'. After yet more expense, Sea Breeze made landfall in Iceland before heading north toward the East Greenland coast in good shape and well stocked with supplies. A mere forty miles from the entrance to Scoresby Sound, Tilman's long-sought-after objective, 'a polite mutiny' forced him to abandon the voyage and head home. The following year, with a crew game for all challenges, a series of adventures on the west coast of Greenland gave Tilman a voyage he considered ' certainly the happiest', in a boat which was proving to be a worthy successor to his beloved Mischief.

A SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR_______________'A work of extraordinary ambition, brilliantly realised' OBSERVER'A mesmerising journey down the byways of English folklore' MAIL ON SUNDAY'Verbally dextrous, inventive, and hugely entertaining' THE TIMES_______________Herne the hunter, mischief-maker, spirit of the forest, leader of the wild hunt, hurtles through the centuries pursued by his creator. A shapeshifter, Herne dons many guises as he slips and ripples through time - at candlelit Twelfth Night revels, at the spectacular burning of the Crystal Palace, at an acid-laced Sixties party. Wherever he goes, transgression, debauch and enchantment always follow in his wake. But as the forest is increasingly encroached upon by urban sprawl and gentrification, and the world slides into crisis, Herne must find a way to survive - or exact his revenge.

An Irish village has been plagued by a mischievous Imp that is imprisoned in a jug in a castle. The Imp wrecks playful havoc on the local village. When the owner Fallon O’Danley passes away, his American raised granddaughter, Meg comes back for the funeral. The whole village conspires to have Meg take the Jug with the Imp back to America. Patrick, the local mailman, tells her the jug was a favorite of her grandfathers. She drinks a toast, and becomes possessed, which turns Meg into raucous Megine, who decides it’s her duty to stay. When the Meg sneezes he inadvertently changes her into Megine and back again, which causes chaos for Patrick and the villagers. During the wake, a lightning storm creates a nearby forest fire, and all blame the imp for this catastrophe. Dash, an American filmmaker, has arrived and previously paid the grandfather for the rights to shoot a horror film in the castle. Meg is fine with this, but Megine will have “no truck with such nonsense”. Patrick tells Dash he need to woo Meg at the weekend’s “Solstice Fair” and take her back to America. The villagers say, “What Fair?” So, they must create a fair basically overnight. Patrick goes to the reluctant witch, Elsbeth for a love potion to lock the two Americans together. Patrick accidently lets the potion be drunk by Esmirelda, a shaggy Irish wolfhound, when the spiked coffee cups are left on a table at the fair, so instead of Meg falling for Dash, Dash who also drinks the potion, falls for Megine. And, Esmirelda now seems to love Patrick. After a series of misadventures, Dash tries to impress Megine by putting on the Irish kilt of her clan. Patrick brings Meg to the tent, but he is distracted by the love-struck dog. The belt on the kilt drops, through the Imp’s doings, and just as Meg lifts the tent flap, she is accidently ‘mooned’ by Dash. Patrick helps Dash to become a hero to save Meg from the Imp. They discover a scroll written in an ancient language. Only Elsbeth can read the ancient writings, which tells of how a 15th century young Irish boy was trapped in the jug. There is also a cryptic prophecy, “To release the ultimate evil, you must grasp the blessing from infinity”. Since no one has the slightest idea what that means, they all set out to capture the Imp. In the castle Elsbeth puts a crucifex on the jug, but the Imp steals the jug. Meg grabs it and runs into a balcony room with mirrors. Dash shouts, “Catch it”. The Imp catches the crucifix instead and while standing between the mirrors the prophecy is fulfilled. The Imp disappears and Kyle, the young boy appears before them. Meg has since fallen in love with Patrick. Dash will make “films that touch the heart” and has fallen for Elsbeth. But wait, there’s a twist. You see the Imp — well, you’ll just have to read it. Sure an’ may the story bring you as much joy as an Irish spring day.
