Publisher's Synopsis
The traditional retold fairy tales in this volume speak of the awesome and the marvellous, of the perilous and the exhilarating. We shall explore the traditional, age-old stories for children our ancestors have told us about Mermaids.
Have you stood on the shore of a great ocean? Have you watched the crash of wave after wave, tirelessly, against rock and sand? Have your felt your feet sink into the mud of the river bank, scented with moss, and sediments, and old magic?
In this series of fairy tales books we sink into the old tales for kids that speak of magic.
What better, then, than to explore the stories of the denizens of the water? At times dancing tricksters, at times Kings and Queens set on vengeance; mermaids are like us. We see in them the deepest fears and wants that our hearts hold. They have freedom, eternal beauty, talents that go way beyond our imaginations.
If you are at least a little bit curious, dive into the deep end of the pool. Let your eyes, ears, and heart be flooded by the voices of the mermaids of old. Let the songs of the water win you over...
