I listen to your reading at night to help me sleep. You are an amazing narrator. And I agree with the others about the subtle sounds that bring the readings to life and help me imagine the story in my mind. Please keep performing more like this. They have gotten me through some difficult times. Thanks and I too look forward to when I can support financially.

This island is, in whole, or perhaps only as a fragment of, "The Isle Of The Ever Young" mentioned in Celtic mythology: an alternative Tir Nan Og ruled over by Mananan MacLir. Though that traditional island had its creepy side, it was not an essentially negative place. Here, this insular fragment has been sullied by the modern world and washed toward and into the wholly negatively hellish.

I suppose it was that although they healed/came back from death, Thunder would have made the torture prolonged and excrutiating, and I think the few hundred years that passed broke her spirit.

After I'd listened, I fancied a look at Lady Eleanor, so I googled and apparently she wrote lots of stories and novels, her other claim to fame was that she was part of a wealthy racy set, in the 20's and 30's, who spent their time loafing about, drinking and taking drugs.....They were called the Bright Young Things!! I expect today's equivalent would be called The Conservative Party. Unless you're a tory, Jasper, in which case, I take it all back.....lol 👍💙💚💛

Yes, I had read she was part of the Bright Young Things - the Mitfords, the Sitwells were there, but you also had Betjeman, Beaton etc. - brilliantly sent up by Evelyn Waugh in "Vile Bodies" if you've ever read it.
