“By the light of the moon, the storyteller stands in the river and gathers what the storyfish bring to her, but the wind promises something more. The river’s flow carries her gently into the unknown as she finds herself travelling far out to sea in search of a great ship with an unlikely guide by her side. the great ship holds the key: there are others out there spinning their tales into the night! Whaleheart guides us out on the night sea and brings us home again, reminding us that “a story is a sail with a wind built into it” and nothing is beyond our reach.”
