At first the boy, wrapped in a shawl of woven seagrass, could barely move or speak. But when he regained his strength, he recalled being brought ashore by a lady with long golden hair who sang him to safety and gave him a silver ring. The monks knew the legend of a mermaid who had wandered the coast for three hundred years. Could it possibly have been her? Inspired by a story told in medieval chronicles of Irish history about a wondrous happening in the year 558, debut author Marianne McShane weaves a captivating tale, while Jordi Solano captures the legends spare but welcoming abbey on the rocky shore - a setting that makes you believe that if you listen hard enough, you too can hear the mermaids song.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51979352834336,"sku":"NEW1536200220","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/ronan-and-the-mermaid-a-tale-of-old-ireland-1536200220","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
