1 author picked Tales of the Seal People as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
With Tales of the Seal People by Duncan Williamson, well, that is like going back to the source.
Back to a time when people sat round campfires and told old stories, and in so doing kindled the deep sense of wonder, connection with the natural world, and also a sense that we are part of that. I was lucky to have known Duncan, so I can hear his voice telling these tales as I read them.
From Janis' list on evoking the sea and shore.
