The Selkie Girl

"The Celtic legend of a seal maiden, who is captured and wed by a mortal young man, is related again by an author who remains faithful to the spirit and magic of the story but gives it a fullness and inevitability that only a true storyteller can evoke . . . The watercolors . . . blend the homely reality of life on a small, seabound craft with a controlled but intense sense of drama".-- The Horn Book.
