Mermaids and Legends

Legends about mermaids living in rivers and seas are known all over the globe. Before you is a collection of tales and legends about beautiful, mysterious, and sometimes treacherous beings. You will get acquainted with the Brazilian mistress of rivers, the German beauty Lorelei, see sirens singing the Odyssey, and meet an Inuit girl who transforms into a seal. African Mami Wata and Chinese Jiao Ren are so different from each other, yet both are protectors of water sources. The book collects tales for every taste — romantic and sometimes frightening, well-known and half-forgotten. That is why it can make a great gift for a child fascinated by mermaids and fantastical worlds.
