Description
Mariana and the Merchild by Caroline Pitcher is a poignant tale of friendship and belonging. A lonely old woman lives in a hut by the sea-shore, longed for by the village children who fear her.
A storm brings a tiny Merbaby to the shore, which Mariana lovingly cares for until its mother, a Sea Spirit, arrives to thank her for saving her child's life. The Sea Spirit asks Mariana to look after the mer-girl until she learns to swim, and as a result, Mariana's life changes forever.
This beautifully illustrated gift edition of a Chilean folk-tale is now reissued in a format that does full justice to Jackie Morris's evocative illustrations. A heartwarming story about the power of friendship and connection.
