Long ago, on the eastern coast of Ireland, a monk from the Abbey of Bangor was collecting driftwood along the wave-tossed shore when he found a boy washed up amid a circle of seals. At first the boy, wrapped in a shawl of woven seagrass, 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 about a wondrous happening in the year 558, 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." --Publisher's website. 650 0 $a Mermaids $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Folklore $z Ireland $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Tales $z Ireland $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Children's stories. 700 1 $a Solano, Jordi, $e illustrator. 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20201217010258.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20201007082945.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2F5344B4089E11EBA1C2147F38ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
