I speak with Tim Ecott about the magnetic power of nature in the stormy Faroe Islands, and about the modern longing for a life more connected to the natural world. Tim's book about the Faroe Islands: The Land of Maybe, a Faroe Islands year, is the foundation for our conversation about the comfort of darkness, the dreamlike spell that islands hold in our imagination, and so much more .Tim Ecott is a former BBC World Service correspondent. He is also a non fiction author drawing heavily on his fondness for the natural world. Tim has worked all over the world, and lived on many tropical paradise islands, but these last few years he has fallen in love with The Faroe Islands, way up in the North Atlantic.
