The Mermaid Atlas will be your ultimate companion in discovering
all your merfolk facts! All over the world, wherever there's water,
there are stories, legends and eyewitness accounts of mermaids.
These magical, mesmerizing people of the deep have been well known
for thousands of years, and almost every country and culture has a
tale to tell about them. People have written, sung and passed on
rumours about mermaids since ancient times, and often reported
their own mermaid encounters, too. Do you know the facts and
stories surrounding the magical and, often elusive, world of
mermaids? This gorgeously illustrated new book includes everything
you wanted to know about these mysterious and captivating
creatures. Discover their secrets in this beautiful compendium,
written by children's author Anna Claybourne and illustrated
throughout by award-winning Spanish illustrator Miren Asiain Lora.
The colourful spreads will take you on an-around-the-world journey,
starting in Europe and the warm Mediterranean to the icy Baltic, as
well as through countless isles, lakes and waterfalls, continuing
to Africa with its immense lakes, cave pools and swampy deltas.
Asia is the next stop with its thousands of islands, beaches,
rivers and lakes while Oceania, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean
with its scattered islands, seems to be the perfect environment for
these mysterious creatures. The journey ends with North and South
America, where there are sightings of water spirits and fish-tailed
ocean goddesses throughout the whole continent, home to the
freezing Arctic, the tropical Caribbean as well as the world's
largest jungle. The Mermaid Atlas will introduce you to the merfolk
of the world, whether it's the beautiful Selkies of the Scottish
seas, the wily Iara of Brazil who love to outwit travellers or the
fearful Ningyo of Japan who can give you eternal life.
