Tailee the Talking Salmon is the exciting story of a salmon's
adventures around the southern and western coasts of Ireland. A
Middle Reader fantasy novel, Tailee grows a youngster's interest in
international themes such as nature's wonders, pollution and shows
how people from very different worlds can work in unison. While the
specific tale is set in Ireland and inspired by a story in Fairy
Legends (1822), this story is personality driven and not
ethnocentric. It is a tale of courage, friendship and discovery, as
a dapper Tailee wins the cooperation of Red, an old sailor and
fisherman while escaping the clutches of angry villagers, works
with Lefty, a skeletal sailor who had drowned at sea, plus merboys
and enchanting mermaids on their rocky shores. Their mission is to
end the reign of Cu Mara, an evil merman who enslaved skeletal
sailors to do work so horrible for old salts it cannot be mentioned
here. In the process Tailee and Lefty face the underwater world of
kelp, pollution and predators, the mermen's cave under the Cliffs
of Moher, and visit the mermaid's in their grotto beneath the
oceans. The merman's red scullcap comes in handy when Tailee and
Lefty must grow a body to go ashore, and the mermaid's silvery cap
allows them to sing above the waters on rocky island shores, and
helps when they must entice Cu Mara onto Inis Oirr where he
discovers his miserable fate.
