"Best mermaid research so far for a variety of mermaids."
Samantha Milks
"I loved reading about the history and break downs of mermaids in this book! This book truly does make you want to question the existence of mermaids; do they really exist? The author pulls from stories around the world and even goes in detail about certain depictions of mermaid (ex. The Starbucks logo). A very cool read!"
