As Sorley McCann approached the low headland, he thought he heard the sound of laughter. But he couldn’t have. Not here, on this lonely shore, and not in the dead of night...The Mermaid and the Bride is the first story in a collection of traditional Scottish folk and fairy tales that have been re-imagined for a modern, adult audience. It tells the tale of Sorley, a poor crofter, grieving for his late wife, who one night stumbles upon a mermaid in her human form and makes a decision that will change both their lives forever.Wilma Stark, former playwright at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, describes The Mermaid and the Bride as a ‘beautiful short story... a new, lyrical, haunting version of an old Celtic tale’.M J Brocklebank has been a television scriptwriter since 2000 and has an MA in Creative Writing from Lancaster University.
