When a fisherman falls in love with a selkie – half-woman, half-seal – she gives him her sealskin as a sign of her love, and bears him two children, Ffion and Morlo, before returning to her own people. When a stranger comes to the village, telling of a land far away, the children remember their mother&;s stories of the cities of gold and pearls beneath the waves…. Presented in a beautiful, new, gift edition, this is a haunting story of love and freedom, for all ages.
