The Sailor and the Sea King's Daughter  by Bodkin 1 Review(s)
Lyta PadfootReviewed Chapter: 2 on 4/22/2004
This story is so well crafted it appears effortless, as though you scanned some unknown Tolkien manuscript and posted it here for our perusal.

Author Reply: This story was actually the first one I wrote, so I spent quite a lot of time going over it and adjusting the phrases and selecting the words to make it flow like the ritual telling of an old tale.

It's so nice to have others reading them and commenting. I forced my younger son to read one once, but mostly I brood over them in secrecy.
