No stories were more potent, more engaging, more subtle or profound than these half-animal, half-human tales of the sea. Time and time again listeners enthralled by Duncan Williamsons lore would ask him for the silkie tale. Duncan grew up with the seals, slept nights stranded by the tide in their colonies, heard countless stories from crofters, fishermen and travellers alike about the strange people who were related to the seal; the silkie stories magically link the two worlds, animal and human, sea and land. Land of the Seal People is a work of a master narrator, Scotlands greatest contemporary storyteller, and is suitable for children and adults alike. From the oral tradition of the West Coast, these stories are a vital part of Scotlands heritage.
