The Sea Horse
James Mayhew
An inspired story of Jamie's magical encounter with a sea horse. The sea's power and danger are as real as its many unexplored depths; loneliness and fear of drowning as real as the sea's vastness; the intensity of Jamie's emotion as real as the strength of the strongest wind. As the sea horse saves him so he too must enable its return to a wild ocean home. Credible details of Jamie's family, of a typical Cornish coastal town, and of safety preparations for the forecast storm all add to the 'reality' of Jamie's special experience. A wonderful tale, beautifully written and illustrated, which is sure to encourage confident readers and further a love of stories generally.
