Fantasy and imagination make up these twelve beguiling seascapes: boys on the trail of a mermaid or struggling in a rough sea; Eth’s husband, a conjurer & man of many secrets; & little Miss Aggie, who also had something to hide. The author’s characters are many and varied, but they all have in common a lively involvement in the natural – & supernatural – worlds about them. Through these unusual stories runs the theme of the power & mystery of the sea.
