Chapter 1

Summer

Austin sank deeper into his pillow because he was so tired. Austin had been working hard down the mine and there was so much tin to dig up that the village was enjoying a happy time. The smell of turnips and beef began to creep up the stairs from the kitchen. Austin’s wife Mary was cooking pasties and the finest steak and pastry was creating such an amazing smell that Austin could almost taste it. Bert the dog woke up suddenly from snoring next to Austin and ran down the stairs hoping for scraps. Austin was not far behind and Mary smiled as her quiet peace was broken by two hungry boys.

Sitting at the heavy wooden kitchen table, Austin enjoyed a cup of strong coffee and a saffron bun. Austin was thinking about the Morgawr, a giant sea serpent he had met only a few weeks before and who had rescued him and his friends when they were in trouble at sea. It was almost unbelievable; if he hadn’t experienced it himself he would never believe it. A sea serpent was actually real and more than that he had become a friend. Not a friend you could talk to or take to the pub, but a friend who would know when you were in trouble and come and help you.
