A queer magical tale of a merman’s search for true love. As Nen sends a song of hope across the sea, a lonely young fisherman Ernest longs to find warmth in his heart. One star-filled night, the two find each other. Before the storm starts…

“Every night, Ernest gazed out to sea and wondered if something more was waiting for him, just beyond the horizon.”

“Nen and, the Lonely Fisherman” is written by Ian Eagleton and illustrated by James Mayhew. Published by Owlet Press in 2021. Bought for the Sea Library in 2021. Bought thanks to a sold woven bookmark ❤️
