Seal Song

By Michael O'Connor

Seal Song is a beautiful, lyrical, engaging novella, perfect for any 12 or 13 year old, and essential reading for anyone with an interest in storytelling, seals, or the magnificent backdrop of the Cornish coast.

Two children visit the West of Cornwall on holiday. They encounter a mysterious sailor and discover the secret of his strange voyages. But is there more to find? Of course there is; there are multiple layers of understanding to be explored. The boundaries between reality and imagination are blurred in a kaleidoscope of fact and fiction that demands to be read and then read again. It is a story of legends and folktales, myths and mysteries, loneliness and longing, kindness and love.

Seal Song is a gentle but utterly engaging book from the skilful pen of Mike O'Connor, who here draws upon his long experience as a Tradition Bearer, sailor, musician and oral storyteller.
