Description
Dolphins leaping off the Sussex Coast were a sight indeed, and when Jim Decks took Tamzin and Meryon out in his old fishing smack one of them in particular seemed to take a fancy to the boat and its occupants. Later, when Tamzin and Rissa went out for a midnight swim, could it have been the same dolphin who rescued Tamzin and bore her to the shore when she was pulled under by the current? Tamzin had no doubts at all, and when they went down to the beach the next day there she was again leaping and playing around them. Soon the papers heard of Tamzin and her dolphin, and soon too, trippers were descending in hordes on the little town of Westling, all eager to see for themselves.
But such bliss could not last for ever, and the dolphin suddenly was in terrible danger. Could they save her from being captured and taught to perform in an Aqua-circus? It looked impossible – for after all anyone can fish in the sea.
This unabridged new printing from Girls Gone By includes 56 pages of introductory and background material, including an article on “Monica Edwards: the Person, the Places and the Books” and a preface by Shelley Edwards.
