A fisherman and his wife are sad because they have no children. Then one day the fisherman brings home an orphaned seal pup that was stranded on a sandbar, and something magical happens!

This book is an original tale based on a Scottish myth: the myth of the Selchie! (the seals who take on human form)

Wonderful book!
