The Mysterious World of Water Spirits

From the sirens and nereids of Greek mythology to the mermaids of English folklore and the jiaoren of Chinese tradition: for centuries, stories of mysterious sea creatures have circulated around the world. Sailors claim to have spotted beautiful mermaids sitting on rocks, combing their hair. But what types of nymphs and water spirits exist? Where do selkies live, and how does the tail of a sargasso sea nymph differ from that of a Caribbean sea nymph? In this long-lost handbook, marine researcher Darcy Delamare introduces the mysterious world of water spirits, revealing where and how they live, what they look like, what they eat, and how they communicate. Thus, this beautifully illustrated handbook is the perfect companion for anyone wanting to learn everything about the fantastic inhabitants of the sea. This book is produced in a climate-neutral manner. Features: hardcover with linen binding, gold foil stamping, and an attached title label.
