Review
"One of those rare stories that can be enjoyed by five-year-olds as well as adults. Causley's prose is spare and unsentimental, and the illustrations glow with lyrical detail." - The Independent; "There is no doubt that it will sell best in Cornwall, where the mermaid seat can still be seen in Zennor church, but don't worry too much about the setting as it should sell in Scotland or Sheffield with similar ease." - Tara Stephenson, Blackwells, York; "The perfect inter-relationship between text and illustration captures the reader and, in the best tradition of storytelling, tells a simple, magical story which enters your heart and stays there." - Books for Keeps"
Product Description
A retelling of a traditional Cornish folktale, illustrated in full colour by Michael Foreman. Next time you stare out to sea and spot a glimmering in the waves, look closer... it just might be a merrymaid! When Zachy's friend, Tom Taskis meets a mysterious young lady, it is only Zachy who knows she's a merrymaid! Tom asks Zachy not to say a word before he and his beautiful maiden disappear into the rushing water. Nearly a year later, when Zachy discovers a merrychild swept in from the crashing waves, he returns it to the spot where he last saw his friend Tom with the beautiful merrymaid...but will he see Tom or the merrymaid again?
