My father was the keeper of the Eddystone Light Slept with a
mermaid one fine night. From this union there came three: A
porpoise, a porgie and the other was me. Jack studies accountancy,
lives with his maiden aunt in an upright Victorian household, and
smells like a fish. The fishy smell drives girls away faster than
they can be introduced. When Jack visits his lighthouse-keeper
father on the Eddystone rocks, he meets his mother for the first
time since he was a baby. She's a mermaid. Jack's mother sends him
on a quest to find his two lost brothers, a porpoise and a porgie
fish. Along the way, Jack falls in love, battles carnival
hucksters, and is scolded by a porpoise... and that's before he
meets the mermaids.
