Saved from the Sea

This book will open your eyes to some of the more extraordinary creatures you might bump into around our coast; it also recounts heart-warming tales such as that of Muddy the Striped Dolphin found stranded near Bournemouth in Dorset; he was so weak that he had to be supported in the water for the first five days of his recuperation, but happily he eventually recovered and was released back to the sea. They are all lovable characters: Houdini, the seal with a talent for escaping and a penchant for orange creates; Gladys, who reckons there is such a thing as a free lunch; and Barney the exhibitionist barnacle, who sometimes slithers a full millimetre.
