Learn moreToni Goodridge raised a harbor seal with her father Harry Goodridge, Harbormaster of Rockport, Maine. The antics of Andre made national news more than once and this is the complete story of his life with the Goodridges. His love for the Goodridge family was so strong that he swam from Connecticut to Maine every spring to be with them again. The personal introduction and afterword by Toni Goodridge adds a unique flavor to the recording.
Lew Dietz (22 May 1906 – 27 April 1997) was an American writer, much of whose work centered on his native Maine. In a long career he produced 20 books and hundreds of magazine articles for Down East magazine (which he helped establish), True, Yankee, Redbook, Coast Fisherman and Outdoors Maine among others.
Reviews
“Seven-year-old Toni Goodrich tells how Andre, the Maine harbor seal, becomes part of the Goodrich family's life. With Andre now glamorized (and betrayed) by Hollywood, the original story may appeal to youngsters who savor the simpler version of Andre’s life. Rachel Sieben projects the high, bubbly voice of the little girl as she tells of Andre’s antics and escapades. Her enthusiasm never lags, and the performance reflects a child’s glee, as well as sadness…the charm of the tale survives.”
