Legends of Ireland
Level 1
Orla lives in London and she is taking the plane to Ireland to see her grandparents. She loves walking along the sea near the lovely village of Ballycotton. One day she sees a seal swimming alone in the sea. Is it the Black Selkie of Ballycotton, a legendary creature, half-human, half-seal? She decides to make friends with the seal and climbs down the rocks close to the water, exactly where Granny says she must NEVER go…
