What do you get when you cross Donald E. Davey Bridge between Edgecomb and Wiscasset with the legend of the Loch Ness monster? The fun children’s book, “Cassie in the Honey Pot: A Wiscasset Legend.”

Author Kellie Teel has always been fascinated by the myth and legend surrounding Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands, and the possibility of its resident sea creature “Nessie” not only being real, but having descendants. Let’s imagine one of Nessie’s descendants ends up in the Honey Pot, an area in the Sheepscot River below the bridge.

Further inspiration for this exciting tale was spun from the close relationship Teel’s husband has with their grandson Declan.

“I think I wrote it in two hours on a snowy day in December of 2019,” Teel said. “It’s about a magical thought process stemming from ‘what if’ ... What if my husband and Declan were walking over the Davey Bridge and stopped to look down into the water to catch a glimpse of Cassie rising to the surface? My hope is that after reading the book, when families are driving over the bridge they look out to the water and call out, ‘Hi Cassie!’”

The book is illustrated by Thomas Brooks of Rockland and published by Maine Author’s Publishing in Thomaston.
