Mermaid Treasures

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"Basically the same book as Magickal Mermaids And Water Creatures by D.J. Conway but with much less Magick."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"This book is about mermaid legends & how they relate to the author's life & to women, in general."

The list author says:
	"This book is geared towards children.  This is basically a quick overview of mythology, folklore, and hoaxes that involved mermaids."

The list author says:
	"This is another children's book.  This covers things like: where mermaids live, their home & family, community, language, arts, holidays, magic, & even fashion."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"I haven't read this book, yet, but it's on my wish list.  This one is about selkies."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"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!"

The list author says:
	"The second book in the Fred The Mermaid series.  More laugh-out-loud antics with a small side of romance.  NOT FOR KIDS!"

The list author says:
	"The final book in the series.  Again, not suitable for children."

The list author says:
	"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)"

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"A short but very good YA book about a teenage girl who meets a prince, discovers a sea dragon, meets a magician, and breaks a curse."

The list author says:
	"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!"

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"This contains several classic fairy tales, including the original, non-Disney story of The Little Mermaid."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"This book is, obviously, not about mermaids but mermaids do appear in parts of the book."

The list author says:
	"Again, this series is not about mermaids but they are mentioned."

The list author says:
	"This movie is like a modern day fairy tale.  It was one of my favorites, as a kid, and I still love it."

The list author says:
	"I saw this movie, on TV, & really enjoyed it.  It had some really funny parts & the storyline is very sweet."

The list author says:
	"I guess this list wouldn't quite be complete without it."

The list author says:
	"Self explainatory."

The list author says:
	"It's been a long time, but I think I used to rent this a lot, when I was a kid.  That's back when it was only in VHS."

The list author says:
	"A "horror" movie about a group of people who capture a mermaid to use as a sideshow attraction.  She, in turn, exacts her revenge on them."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"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."

The list author says:
	"This deck is easy to use & it has some beautiful illustrations of mermaids."

The list author says:
	"Six classic pictures of mermaids."

The list author says:
	"A beautiful collection of 16 notecards featuring paintings by J.W. Waterhouse.  There are 3 featuring water nymphs and sirens."
