Delightful children's stories from Mersea Island by author Veronique Eckstein.
MERSEA MICK
In 1988 a sharp-eyed nine-year-old boy found a 1lb glass jar sticking out of the cliffs at East Mersea. He handed the jar to Dougal Urquart, Ranger at Cudmore Grove.
The jar contained a faded envelope with a letter from a First World War pilot to his faithful fox terrier Mick. They turned out to be from the dog’s gravestone that used to be in the bluebell wood on the cliff at Cudmore Grove, East Mersea. These unique beach finds have been spun into a story involving two boys, a dog and a World War I pilot.

THE CHRISTMAS SEAL
The light is rapidly fading. The walk along the shingle path to the shops should only take the boys five minutes. Five minutes, that is, unless they stop. Stop to wonder at the stranger lingering on the beach long after everyone else has gone....
Why is he crawling through the evil-smelling mud? What is he stalking? How close can the boys scull their boat, before the stranger realizes that he too is being stalked?
