Beautiful, quirky story of one man's love of the sea and the story of the selkie legend. Could just as well be under travel section, as he travels to the Hebrides and Ireland's West Coast. Lovely writing on an engaging topic.

This is almost a stream of consciousness, coalescing into more formal stories, normally told by one of the characters met on the author's travels. Best when read in the tradition of Joyce...

A thorough examination of the mythology behind the seal-folk; a great read for anyone interested in traditional tales.
