The Serpent Came to Gloucester
By M.T. Anderson
Illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline
A picture-book tribute to the mystery of the ocean and the mesmerizing creatures that may frolic there – based on real-life events.
In a Massachusetts fishing village in 1817 dozens of citizens reported seeing an enormous sea serpent swimming off the coast. Though people came from miles around to find the serpent, the creature eluded capture, and to this day remains an unsolved mystery.
- Told entirely in deft, flowing rhyme, the author has meticulously researched the sightings by reviewing original handwritten accounts.
- Features amazing painted images from award-winning virtuoso Bagram Ibatoulline.
