The People Of The Sea Zusammenfassung

The People Of The Sea: Celtic Tales of the Seal-Folk David Thomson

When David Thomson took a journey to the sea coasts of Scotland and Ireland to seek out the legend of the selchies - mythological creatures who transform from seals into humans - a magical world emerged. Men were rescued by seals in stormy seas, took seal-women for their wives and had their children suckled by seal-mothers.

Timeless and haunting, The People of the Sea retains its spellbinding charm and brings to life the enchanting stories of these mysterious creatures of Celtic folklore.

The People Of The Sea Bewertungen

Readers will be carried away on successive waves of pleasure . . . These stories have an irresistible holistic beauty -- SEAMUS HEANEY
A splendid resurrection of a life that has almost vanished * * Daily Telegraph * *
I know of few books which so ably open a window on the Gaelic scene today or which so faithfully reflect the mind, vigour and courtesy of its people . . . Pounds on the imagination like surf on a reef * * Observer * *
