| Have
you ever heard of a selkie? In the United Kingdom and Ireland, selkies
are the stuff of folklore. They are half human and half seal and
are usually women. Folklore has it that when the selkies come on
shore and shed their skins, they appear human. If you can find the
skin of a selkie and hide it, the selkie is kept prisoner on land and cannot
return to the sea until the skin is found. This is the story of a
fisherman who falls in love with a beautiful selkie. But he knows
that one day she will return to sea. |
