The Storyteller

In the grounds of Bangor Abbey you will find a memorial plinth erected by friends of Wesley Greenhill Lyttle (right), author of Betsy Gray. An inscription reads:

“…a man of rare natural gifts, he raised himself to a high position among the journalists of Ireland. He was a brilliant and graceful writer, a true humourist and an accomplished poet. Robin was a kind friend, a genial companion and a true son of County Down.” And on the other side, from his family: “Oh for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that’s still”

His great grandson,Tony Lyttle, has written a biography, The Storyteller, launched this week, detailing the life and times of this multi-talented man.
