Mermaid Treasures

A Listmania! list by Peekablue (Missouri, USA)
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."
Mermaids (Magical Beings)
1.  Mermaids (Magical Beings) by Elizabeth Ratisseau
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."
