A Portable Shelter

Zusatztext

<p>In their tiny, sea-beaten cottage on the north coast of Scotland, Liska and Ruth await the birth of their first child.</p><p>Each passes the time by telling the baby stories, trying to pass on the lessons theyve learned: tales of circuses and stargazing, selkie fishermen and domestic werewolves, child-eating witches and broken-toothed dragons.</p><p>But they must keep their storytelling a secret from one another, as theyve agreed to only ever tell the plain truth. So to cloak their tales, Ruth tells her stories when Liska is at work, to a background of shrieking seabirds; Liska tells hers when Ruth is asleep, with the lighthouse sweeping its steady beam through the window.</p>
