Description

James Riordan (ed); Amanda Hall (il). This collection of folk tales from around the world is set in & around the sea. Some stories, such as Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid,” are well known. Some -- such as “Why the Sea Is Salty” -- pose age-old questions; others cast up all kinds of good & evil sea spirits -- mermaids, giants, sea gods, & water nymphs. These stories include: “The Flood”; “The Selki Wife”; “Sea Wind”; Sinbad the Sailor”; Hime-moa”; “The Precious Pearl;” & “The Old Man of the Sea.” Brimming with mystery, excitement & adventure, all of these tales are linked by an awe & respect for the sea’s majesty & power. Charming color illustrations.
