The list author says: "This is a list of books, movies, or anything else that I own that has to to with mermaids & their kin. Unfortunately, not everything that I have is available on Amazon, so I can't list it all. Also, many of these items are suitable for all ages but there are a few romance novels, in this list, that are not appropriate for kids."
"This is an absolutely beautiful book. It consists of famous pictures of mermaids along with quotes from books, poems, songs, and journals. The only flaw is that it's too short. I also recommend Magicians & Enchanters by the same author."
"This book covers all things relating to merfolk. I never knew there were so many different kinds of mermaids. Really interesting text but light on pictures. I also recommend Magickal Mystical Creatures by the same author."
"This book is similar to Mermaids (Magical Beings) by Elizabeth Ratisseau, only longer. It also features famous paintings, pictures of carvings, statues, jewelry, etc. along with quotes from poems, plays, and literature."
"This is another children's book. This covers things like: where mermaids live, their home & family, community, language, arts, holidays, magic, & even fashion."
"Another children's book, in the spirit of the "Ology" books, though not as well done. Beautiful illustrations. Adults will probably enjoy this as well as kids. I know I do."
"A great children's/YA book about a brother and sister who live in a fishing village that's been cursed by a mermaid. It's up to them to break the curse."
"This is an adult (NOT for kids) historical fiction/fantasy/romance novel. It covers 3 different, & far apart, generations of a family that is of Siren blood. It spans from middle ages to modern times."
"Another adult (NOT for kids) historical fiction/fantasy/romance novel. This is about a modern young woman who is transported back to medieval times and changed into a mermaid. This book is a lot better than I expected it to be."
"This is the first of a series of books about Fred, who is half human/half mermaid. I would call this one Adult/Paranormal/Fantasy/Comedy/Romance. NOT FOR KIDS!"
"A beautiful story about a mermaid, her fight to learn the truth of her heritage & to claim her rightful place in the world. I highly recommend this book. (Not for children)"
"I haven't read this one, yet, but it has received good reviews. This is a romance novel that features a selkie. I would imagine that it's not suitable for children."
"This children's book is about 3 eccentric ladies who are in charge of a secret island. This island is a place where "mythological" creatures can come for refuge, including a family of mermaids."
"This book borrows from the classical Greek myth about sirens along with elements of the Odyssey. It's not exactly true to the siren legends but it works for this story."
"This YA fantasy combines two classic fairy tales, The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen & Undine by Friedrich de la Motte Fouquee, into one retelling."
"Another adult (not for kids) historical fiction/romance novel. The basic plot reminds me, a little, of Jane Eyre. There is a lot of mermaid mythology mentioned and a brief appearance by a mermaid at the end. A really great romance!"
"This is a great fantasy novel. The main character is a knight, who is on a quest. The story reminds me, a little, of the French legend of Melusine combined with The Lady Of Shalott. There is a mermaid-like character (take a close look at the front & back covers) & a selkie."
"This is a classic but lesser known fairy tale about a water maid. I am not impressed with this particular edition, so I recommend trying to find another one."
"This is not the edition that I own but the Brothers Grimm did write several stories about Nixies, which are related to mermaids. "The Water Sprite" is one."
"This is an animated TV show, from the 1980's, that I loved as a kid. One of the characters is a mermaid, named Mermista. She only appears in a few episodes. On this DVD, she is seen in "Sweet Bee's Home." It's a great series, & all episodes are now available on DVD."
"I don't think that this classic movie has been released on DVD, yet. It's a great story about a man who finds a mermaid and keeps her in his swimming pool."
