These stories are linked to a very short novel - THE SECRETS OF MARMORAN. Marmoran is a fictitious island off the East Coast of Scotland. Its name was conjured up from MORAG's name along with that of one of her friends - MARION. Hence, MAR - MORA - N. The book consists of rhyming verses about characters on the island. It is intended to be used as a home reader - or for use in class - as part of an island study. There are questions at the end of each chapter.
