An Irish storyteller revisits the little-known legend of the
Mermaid Saint in a haunting, beautifully illustrated tale of
kindness, music and longing. Long ago, on the eastern coast of
Ireland, a monk from the Abbey of Bangor was collecting driftwood
along the shore when he found a boy washed up amid a circle of
seals. At first the boy could barely move or speak. But when he
regained his strength, he recalled being brought ashore by a lady
with long golden hair who sang him to safety and gave him a silver
ring. The monks knew the legend of a mermaid who had wandered the
coast for three hundred years. Could it possibly have been her?
Inspired by a story told in medieval chronicles of Irish history,
debut author Marianne McShane weaves a captivating tale, while
Jordi Solano captures the legend's spare but welcoming abbey on the
rocky shore - a setting that makes you believe that if you listen
hard enough, you too can hear the mermaid's song.
