Jim Murdoch presents The People Of The Sea: Celtic Legends And Myths: Celtic Tales of the Seal-folk by David Thomson posted at The Truth About Lies, saying, “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”
