'A classic tale of the kelpie that is wonderfully and beautifully
retold for children ages 4-7 in this gripping adaptation... and
enhanced with the breathtaking illustrations by artist Philip
Longson.'
-- Midwest Book Review'The story is haunting, and along with its
lovely, detailed illustrations, it captures the look and feel of
Scotland perfectly.
--Goodreads'... The author uses elements of various traditional
versions and acknowledges several collections of Scottish tales as
source material. But Don makes her story far gentler than
many.'
-- Kirkus Book Reviews'The illustrations are very pretty and fun,
and are an exciting part of the story.'
