The Fisherman and His Foundlings | Phillip Leighton-Daly
1 post | 1 read
An old fisherman lives alone on a craggy, windswept coastline. His home is built from the wreckage of long-gone ships. Each day, he embarks on a treacherous path to the sea where he collects the fishes that he delivers to the leper colony to help feed the homeless children at the mission. He is a kind and caring widower. While on his daily journey, he encounters a wounded merchild, but he doesn’t know the child has been left as bait for him by the merfolk queen. She wishes to use his bones to decorate her palace. She also believes that being kind and caring is a weakness. The old man works to keep the merchild safe and to resist the queen. A fairy-tale for children, The Fisherman and His Foundlings shares a story about the importance of being kind and caring.

The book revolves around the kindness and affection of an old fisherman and the viciousness and cruelty of the merfolk kingdom.
The potrayal of affection and goodwill in the book is admirable. I loved how every action of the oldman manifested kindness. The merfolk's wrath was also greatly portrayed in the book.
