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.
