sprayed silver edges, this gorgeous volume is filled with beautiful
illustrations and precise notes detailing the secret life of
mermaids. In 1872, intrepid (fictional) explorer Darcy Delamare
disguised herself as a man to claim a place on board the (real
life) scientific expedition of the HMS Challenger. She made a
record of her findings on the trip, recounting the extraordinary
sea creatures she witnessed: creatures that, until now, nobody had
believed really existed... mermaids! Following on from the
beautiful A Natural History of Fairies and A Natural History of
Magick, this beautifully illustrated vintage album is filled with
descriptions and illustrations of Delamare's findings, from tales
of mermaids in ancient lore to more recent sightings as well as
facts on the beliefs and superstitions surrounding these elusive
creatures. Children will delight in discovering the anatomy,
behaviour and lifecycles of the Merfolk and how they have hidden
themselves from human discovery over millennia. Pore over the
anatomy of tails, learn how these mysterious creatures communicate
and immerse yourself in their underwater world. The Folklore Field
Guides series is a charming collection of beautifully illustrated
handbooks on topics of lore and legend. Fascinating facts are
