'A tender tale of love and loss that pulls you in like the tide.' – Jack Smylie Wild, author of Riverwise
'What happens when the old stories are lost? The Herring Man explores the hinterland where realities and memories meet through peeling back the past as a young man learns how to give an old friend his long-earned peace. A touching, enchanting tale.' – David Lloyd-Owen, editor of A Wilder Wales
Part of a family's heritage is the tales they leave behind, but what happens if you don't have the voice to tell them?
Known locally as the Herring Man, Samuel Evans was a fisherman and sailor. He travelled across the seas, sketching down his experiences and leaving his adventure stories as a legacy. His grandson Gwyn is the only living relative left to tell his tales, but he spends his days in silent isolation, fixing damaged fishing nets with the net-needle Samuel carved from a walrus tusk.
When a lonely young boy becomes intrigued with his boat and offers to help fix it, they form a bond that gives Gwyn hope he'll be able to speak again. As he starts talking about the past he begins to leave a legacy of his own. A riddle for the young boy to solve.
The Herring Man is a modern-day fable, beautifully illustrated by the author, about dealing with grief and searching for hope.
