Part of a family's heritage is the tales they leave behind, but what happens if you don't have the voice to tell them? Known locally as the Herring Man, Samuel Evans was a fisherman and sailor. He travelled across the seas, sketching down his experiences and leaving his adventure stories as a legacy. His grandson Gwyn is the only living relative left to tell his tales, but he spends his days in silent isolation, fixing damaged fishing nets with the net-needle Samuel carved from a walrus tusk. When a lonely young boy becomes intrigued with his boat and offers to help fix it, they form a bond that gives him hope he'll be able to speak again. As Gwyn starts talking about the past he begins to leave a legacy of his own. A riddle for the young boy to solve. The Herring Man is a modern-day fable, beautifully illustrated by the author, about dealing with grief and searching for hope.

Born in Saundersfoot, Cyril James Morris joined the Royal Navy as an Apprentice at age sixteen. He served twenty-two years as Marine and Aeronautical Engineer, followed by training as a Helicopter Anti-submarine pilot and eventually as a Helicopter Maintenance Test Pilot. After his retirement he became a lobster fisherman in Saundersfoot for a couple of years and then took up a position in the U.S.A. as an Aerostat Flight Director. He returned to Saundersfoot in 2014 to pursue his writing.
