On the rugged Cornish coast, where the land meets the sea, lies the village of Zennor. Here, there are stories and whispers of a villager capturing the heart of a mysterious and beautiful stranger - a stranger from the sea - a mermaid!

From a landscape rich with myth and magic comes this traditional folk tale, retold by master poet Charles Causley and illustrated by award-winning artist Michael Foreman.

'A simple, magical story which enters your heart and stays there.'
