{"product_id":"9781406392043","title":"Ronan and the Mermaid: A Tale of Old Ireland","description":"An Irish storyteller revisits the little-known legend of the Mermaid Saint in a haunting, beautifully illustrated tale of kindness, music and longing.   Long ago, on the eastern coast of Ireland, a monk from the Abbey of Bangor was collecting driftwood along the shore when he found a boy washed up amid a circle of seals. At first the boy 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, debut author Marianne McShane weaves a captivating tale, while Jordi Solano captures the legend's 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 mermaid's song.\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781406392043\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Walker Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33166055833699,"sku":"9781406392043","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/6874\/1219\/products\/popular-titles-ronan-and-the-mermaid-a-tale-of-old-ireland-1.jpg?v=1633976045","url":"https:\/\/www.books2door.com\/products\/9781406392043","provider":"Books2Door","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
