Farewell Mr. Puffin

Paul Heiney, a well-known British broadcaster and story-teller, recounts the tale of his voyage, setting sail from the east coast of England, to the Orkney Islands, and northward to the Arctic Circle, towards Iceland.  Along the way he longed for an encounter with the elusive puffin, a national symbol of Iceland.  This light-hearted, real-world story weaves the author's love for the sea with interesting facts about the exploration and early settlement of the northern islands.
