A Stranger Came Ashore | Mollie Hunter

#PublishedInThe1970s, I first read this book & others by Mollie Hunter as a child in the 90s. Like most of her works, it focuses on a creature from Celtic myths, the Selkie. Unlike most selkie stories that focus on a female selkie who's forced into marriage, this one focuses on a strange male who comes to shore after a storm. Young Robbie doesn't trust him & soon discovers that he is the Great Selkie, who preys upon human women. #JubilantJuly
