Selkie Poem No human husband

could ever hold me.

Comforts, gathered,

began to stifle.

While he slept,

I would search.

Somewhere, my

seal's skin

was hidden.

It was just a

matter of time.

The Secret of Kells In the remote Irish woods, Cellach prepares a fortress for an impending attack by a Viking war party. Unbeknown to Cellach, his young nephew Brendan -- who has no taste for battle -- works secretly as an apprentice in the scriptorium of the local monastery, learning the ancient art of calligraphy. As the Vikings approach, revered illuminator Aidan arrives at the monastery and recruits Brendan to complete a series of dangerous, magical tasks.
