K.M. Shea, the author of Cinderella and the Colonel from the Timeless Tales series and A Goose Girl from the Entwined Tales series, decided to take the story of "The Little Mermaid" in a new direction with her fifth Timeless Tales novel The Little Selkie. Unlike the Entwined Tales version of the story, A Little Mermaid by Aya Ling, The Little Selkie reimagines the little mermaid and her family as selkies, beings from Celtic mythology who have the ability to transform into seals by putting on seal pelts and taking them off to become human. This obscure mythology was featured in the 2014 animated movie, Song of the Sea.Dylan is not like other selkies. Instead of a seal skin, she was born with the pelt of a sea lion. In Dylan's world, sea lions are less respected among selkies, but she compensates for it by being a daughter of the selkie king and queen and by having the most powerful singing voice among her sisters. The song of the selkies holds a great deal of magic, allowing them to control the ocean. Dylan is coveted for her powerful singing voice. When she is kidnapped by the wicked Sea Witch who steals her pelt, she begs an enchantress to seal her voice away to ensure her safety from the witch's goons until her pelt is recovered. Dylan's insufferable pride is her greatest weakness, but it also makes her very interesting as a character. She refuses to ask anyone for help or even tell her family she was kidnapped. When she becomes the unwilling ward of one of the Sea Witch's goons, Dylan is given refuge at a castle where a prince she had rescued before her voice was sealed resides.I enjoyed this book significantly more than Cinderella and the Colonel. It was less political and did not drag as much. The magic and mythology of the selkies kept the story interesting, and Dylan's romance with Prince Callan felt much more organic. They both eventually recognized each other from their initial meeting, eliminating the mistaken identity plot from the fairy tale. I loved reading about how Dylan gradually acclimated to human life in spite of her preference for her sea lion body. Prince Callan presented her some of the most beautiful gowns during her stay with him, considerately taking into account her preferences toward sea glass instead of expensive jewels and flowing fabrics that resemble the waves of the ocean. Like in A Little Mermaid, Dylan was able to communicate with the other humans through writing even though her was voice sealed. She was given a slate and chalk to use for conversations with those around her, particularly Callan. Despite Callan's curiousity, she was very careful in how much she revealed to him because she feared that her pelt would be destroyed by Jarlath if she gave too much away. If that were to happen, she could never become a sea lion again.When it comes to mermaid stories, I usually enjoy reading about imaginative cultures and underwater worlds. The Little Selkie did not have any of that since seals and sea lions spend more time on the surface than they do in the water. Though that was a little disappointing, it still did not divert from my interest in the story. The Sea Witch made for a formidable villain even though Dylan's biggest obstacle for most of the story was Jarlath, an incompetent goon who held her hostage at the castle. Overall, A Little Selkie was an enjoyable alternative to "The Little Mermaid" with a daring and clever heroine. I enjoyed the use of selkie mythology would recommend it to anyone who likes reading fairy tale retellings.
I must admit: I took a horribly unreasonable amount of time to get to this one. I'm not a huge fan of "The Little Mermaid" retellings because, frankly speaking, I just haven't read enough of them to think they're all that brilliant (and besides the fact that I dislike the Disney version and don't know what to think on the original tale). It was moths after reading book four, Rumpelstiltskin, that I finally pickes up The Little Selkie on a free day. Even then I took my sweet old time getting around to it. Now I regret procrastinating against this amazing novel. It's officially one of my favorite fairytale retellings of all time! Let me explain why I so dreaded starting this book. I've read almost all of KM Shea's books, and I've gotten to recognize specific tics and tricks and details in her writing, as I do when I read much of any author. Dylan, the heroine, seemes a bit too much for me every time I heard about her-- her brash and impulsive personality and all that. I thought she'd be one I wouldn't much appreciate as being very different from Briar Rose or Elle or Gwendafyn, but boy was I wrong. So very wrong. Dylan was AMAZING. She is definitely one of my favorite heroines ever! I loved her fire, her passion for the sea, her vivacious spirit. I loved how, even with her restless personality, she learned about peace in the end. And of course, the way she dealt with the mean girls like Ainsling and Kelly, as well as her insatiable hunger for good food, were definitely awesome. Callan was another great one. Quiet and meek, you could say. Sorry if I keep imagining him speak with an Irish accent (Ringsted's cultural base and all!). A unique hero. Dooley and Cagney-- <3 <3 <3 That is all. I hope to see more of Ringsted one day! The Irish/Scottish culture fit so prettily into the TFT world. I suspect that Kitty might have plans for giving the rest of Callan's family their own fairytales, too (specifically Viggo). And then we could have more Dylan, so it's a win-win. :D FANTASTIC retelling. Certainly worthy of your time. Five stars!!
Dylan is a selkie and the youngest daughter of the King of selkies. One of the duties of the selkies is to save any human, & that is what Dylan does when she comes across a shipwreck during a storm - all the while muttering to herself on how stupid humans are to sail in bad weather. The person she saves, unbeknownst to her is Callan, the heir to Ringsted. She brings him to shore and stays with him until she sees a rescue party come.The next 2 years finds the selkies fighting against an evil sea witch using blood magic to augment her powers. During a battle one day, Dylan in her determination goes a little too far in pursuing the witch and gets caught out of her pelt and taken hostage by the witch and her human cohorts.Loosely themed on The Little Mermaid, this was a wonderfully told story. Dylan is spunky, courageous - she saves the Prince and his siblings several times! and totally disarming. Not quite familiar with "landers" mannerisms, she takes things quite literally most times and this leads to quite a lot of humorous situations.I loved how Callan had been looking for her since she saved him those 2 years ago, feeling a connection to her as she stayed by his side until she was certain of his rescue. The romance is sweet and funny (Dylan is really a most original character!) and there is action galore.A wonderful, funny, poignant read. Highly recommended!
