Description
The Penguin Book of Mermaids is a treasure trove of tales about merfolk and water spirits from around the world. For centuries, these mythical beings have captivated human imagination, from the ancient sailors of Homer's Odyssey to the modern-day Disney adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid".
This collection brings together a diverse range of stories, including Scottish selkies, Hindu water-serpents, and Chilean sea fairies, many of which are published here in English for the first time. The book offers a unique insight into the cultural significance of mermaids, exploring themes such as gender, spirituality, ecology, and sexuality.
With its rich and varied selection of tales, The Penguin Book of Mermaids is a fascinating read for anyone interested in mythology, folklore, and the human experience.
