Sea shells sea shells book
I read this book when I was young and I loved it Now I read it again just to see what it was about and if I would still like it and I do It s not briliant but a very nice story about a grumpy mermaid and children in after ww2 England Margaret J Baker would have given this story of 3 children finding magic intruding into the everyday world four stars if I d read it at 9 or so and so that s what I went with as a grown up Even as a child though having devoured Edward Eager and E Nesbit I would have found it not quite up to their five star level Doesn t have quite the same zing as those but still a really pleasant read Margaret J Baker
