Myths about Mermaids. From Sirens and Melusine to Ningyo and Ariel

Mermaids and other mythical creatures dwelling in water have fascinated humans long before Ariel sold her voice to the sea witch in Disney's adaptation of 'The Little Mermaid'.
Ancient sirens and medieval Melusine, Scottish selkies and Japanese ningyo, countless water spirits... from all continents – they are as diverse and elusive as the shimmering sea water under the sun.
The authors of this book have collected dozens of stories from all corners of the world – from classic plots to local legends – to illustrate how the image of mermaids has changed with the development of global culture and reflected its most important trends.
