The King and the Shell by Rowena Swanson

A magical, eco fairytale...the perfect bedtime story.

It is the type of story you want to hear again and again. It has a strong, worldwide ecological message.

The King sits in his castle overlooking the sea. Looking out of the window, he can see the moon reflecting on the sea. He notices something shining at the water's edge. He wanders down the winding path to the shore to investigate.

It is a shell. He picks it up and puts it in his pocket and returns to his castle.

The King places the shell on the mantelpiece above the fire and falls asleep in his chair but is soon woken by strange music and a voice coming from the shell

They have a conversation about saving the ocean. The shell makes a promise to the King if he will agree to return the shell to the sea.
