Publisher's Synopsis
A mermaid is a mythical creature that is half woman and half fish. Although some mermaids are described as monstrous and ugly, they are more usually very beautiful. However, such descriptions are very different from the usual portrayal of a mermaid and the idea of a beautiful but dangerous creature probably arose from the earlier stories of Sirens of the Aegean Sea. Join Rhonda Nelson as she delves into this mysterious subject matter. Is the mermaid beautiful, deadly, or perhaps both?
