I recommend this to anyone interested in Gaelic folklore, but I was thinking you might be particularly interested seeing as you're a Hebridean. Or maybe you've heard it all before? :P Good 'day in the life post' btw.
I'm bad at reviewing stuff and I'm only about half way through it so I'll just copy-pasta the blerb:
'The haunting record of a journey in search of the man-seal legends of the Celts. David Thomson's travels in the Hebrides and the west coast of Ireland brought him into contact with a people whose association with the sea and its fertile lore runs deep. These simple people were gifted with the most ancient storytelling arts. They told of men rescued by seals in stormy seas, of babies suckled by seal-mothers, and of men who took sea-women for wives - stories centuries-old handed down to them by their forefathers. This book seeks to brings these fascinating legends alive.
These mysterious and fascinating legends retain their spellbinding enchantment through the luminous quality of David Thomson's prose. From an early age, he was fascinated by the mysterious interaction between man and the sea. In the Selkie legends he found the perfect expression of a Celtic world where truth and fiction intertwine, and his book is a window onto that vanished world.'
