Full description:
The Song of the Selkie: A new folktale with music
Scottish storyteller Heather Yule tells an original musical story featuring performances by a variety of harpers from the Washington Area Folk Harp Society. The Song of the Selkie is the story of Sandy, a selkie, whose sealskin is stolen from her, leading her on a long and arduous journey to recover it. The premier performance of The Song of the Selkie was recorded live at the 2000 benefit concert for the Washington Area Folk Harp Society.

Loved the CD! (5 stars)

Great CD, wonderful music and story (4 stars)
Great CD! It keeps my kids enthralled, especially in the car. The harp music is beautiful, the story is interesting and the narrator has a great story telling voice.

Excellent story! (4 stars)
I listened to this CD on a long drive and it was the most enjoyable time in the car! The mix of storytelling and harp music was lovely. And one of my favorite songs, Chi mi na Morbheanna, is on it as well.
