But if you grew up on a coast, you know what's found in the water is fair game--wreckers were a commonplace in England at one time, holding lanterns in a storm to lure ships onto the rocks. <br />Jansson doesn't give much more than I have here--as I said, I've read this many times and this is the first time this chapter has leaped out at me. You need to find this book for yourself and see what captures you.
