The Seal Summer | Nina Warner Hooke

I enjoyed this - a story of a grey seal that spends the summer of 1961 in a Dorset cove, playing with the locals and holiday-makers. I found the change in attitudes to today quite fascinating- the author‘s main concern is that the seal will get shot. I don‘t think a book - or experience- like this one could happen today.
