About The Book

England is a maritime nation. Our folklore and history are scattered with tall tales of the high seas, mysteries of the unknown world beneath the ocean surface, and the coast where human life meets the salt sea.

This book is a collection of traditional folk tales from the coasts and seas of England, retold with a contemporary twist by Lisa Schneidau. Within these pages you’ll find magic and monsters, sailor heroes and ghost ships, and even mermaids and shapeshifters.

Immerse yourself in these sea stories and let the current of England’s mysterious ocean world sweep you away.
