Quick correction: Corinne inadvertently mixed up Heather Dale and Alexander James Adams. Both singers perform folk and/or filk and were active in the 90s and 00s and released music under the first name “Heather”. We regret the error! “The Maiden and the Selkie” was performed by Heather Dale, not Alexander James Adams.
