The Mermaid Atlas: Merfolk of the World by Anna Claybourne
5.0
Wow, this book was absolutely beautiful!
The illustration was the best I've seen in a while, I could spend hours just looking at the pictures.
The book gives a great overview of mermaid myth/folklore which as the title suggests in an atlas form.
This a chapter for each continent with the various mermaid stories found in each one. In addition to this there are chapters on Mermaid homes, magic, sightings & things that can be mistaken for mermaids.
Aside from the mermaid 'facts' there is an introduction to each continent which gives some information about the waterways where mermaids can be found.
The book is a lovely introduction to geography & folklore around the world & the mermaids are useful tool to get kids interested.
Thanks to Netgalley & Laurence King Publishing for an advanced readers copy in return for an honest review.
