Seal Song was the winner of the Ann Trevenen Jenkin cup for best children's book at the 2023 Holyer an Gof book awards. Seal Song is a beautiful, lyrical, engaging novella, perfect for any 12 or 13 year old, and essential reading for anyone with an interest in storytelling, seals, or the magnificent backdrop of the Cornish coast.
Two children visit the West of Cornwall on holiday. They encounter a mysterious sailor and discover the secret of his strange voyages. But is there more to find? Of course there is; there are multiple layers of understanding to be explored. The boundaries between reality and imagination are blurred in a kaleidoscope of fact and fiction that demands to be read and then read again. It is a story of legends and folktales, myths and mysteries, loneliness and longing, kindness and love.
