Part of a family's heritage is the tales they leave behind, but
what happens if you don't have the voice to tell them? Known
locally as the Herring Man, Samuel Evans was a fisherman and
sailor. He travelled across the seas, sketching down his
experiences and leaving his adventure stories as a legacy. His
grandson Gwyn is the only living relative left to tell his tales,
but he spends his days in silent isolation, fixing damaged fishing
nets with the net-needle Samuel carved from a walrus tusk. When a
lonely young boy becomes intrigued with his boat and offers to help
fix it, they form a bond that gives him hope he'll be able to speak
again. As Gwyn starts talking about the past he begins to leave a
legacy of his own. A riddle for the young boy to solve. The Herring
Man is a modern-day fable, beautifully illustrated by the author,
about dealing with grief and searching for hope.
