An exquisitely written and illustrated traditional cornish folk tale that captures all the myth and magic of mermaids
On the rugged Cornish coast, where the land meets the sea, lies the village of Zennor. Here, there are stories and whispers of a villager capturing the heart of a mysterious and beautiful stranger - a stranger from the sea - a mermaid!
From a landscape rich with myth and magic comes this traditional folk tale, retold by master poet Charles Causley and illustrated by award-winning artist Michael Foreman.
'A simple, magical story which enters your heart and stays there.'
Books For Keeps
'Causley's prose is beautifully spare and unsentimental, and the illustrations glow with lyrical detail.'
