註釋Old Mariana longs for friendship, but she is feared by the village children & fearful of the hungry sea-wolves that hide in the sea-caves near her hut. Then one day Mariana finds a Merchild inside a crab shell. At once she loves the child more than life itself -- although she knows that one day, when the sea is calm again, the Merchild's mother will come to take her daughter back . . . . Caroline Pitcher's moving & poetic retelling of this traditional South American folk tale is vividly illustrated by Jackie Morris.
