But while there were many things I loved about this book, there were a few bit I wasn’t fond of as well. Thus I bring you a pro/con list!Pros: • The book itself is beautiful. Whoever did the formatting did a stunning job. There are gorgeous designs on every page, lovely artwork, and everything from the text to the pictures are in a blue ink instead of the normal boring black. This makes it an excellent display book. • There’s a plethora of interesting information on mermaids. • Quotes! I love quotes and this book is full of quotes on mermaids from various authors. • The tidbits of mermaid info include myths, legends, works of fiction, and more. It covers mermaids in many genres and every continent. • It also has chapters on the first mermaid, what mermaids look like, where they live, and so on.Cons: • The first half is very repetitive. The same fact, like who the first mermaid is, is repeated throughout the book many times. With additional research, the author could have filled the book with more information instead of the same information multiple times. • Too many opinions! The author frequently shared her opinions or interpretations of various mermaid mythologies. I don’t care about her thoughts on the subject, I wanted an encyclopedia-like book on mermaids. • The reference page. I loved seeing all of the PhDs and the prestigious sources in the bibliography. What I did not like seeing were the less than stellar websites listed. There is nothing wrong with using the net for research, all university students do it, but make sure they are respected sites. • Like I said above, she could have filled it with more info instead of repeating the same things so many times. That said, I noticed a few mermaid stories that were either not mentioned or very briefly touched on. Takes the quotes for example, I LOVE quotes (as I said above), but she quoted many unheard of books on femininity. She could have (and should have) used more quotes from popular mermaid fiction. There were many stories left out.As you can see, the pros and cons are pretty balanced, so I gave the book a 3 star rating. I love parts of it, and dislike others. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not comprehensive but informative and enlightening *by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2016* This is a lovely little volume that provides a nice overview of mermaid folklore and legends that includes a good cross section of mermaid interpretations from the perspective of different cultures and belief systems as well as culturally different styles of storytelling about the creatures. Part 1 of this book gives a general summary on mermaid attributes, looks and behaviors.Part 2 of this book covers the different impressions of mermaids based upon geographic locations. As it turns out, mermaids have their origins in the ancient world and like their human counterparts, have various characteristics that correspond to their particular regions, based upon lore and belief systems. This section covers locations that include Australia, Africa, Europe and Britain, the South Seas and the Americas.This is not a comprehensive guide but it does give the reader a good education on merfolk of the world and their origins as well as their impact on modern culture.I am impressed by the book’s presentation. This is a small hardback book with a light sea green cover, gray artwork, and the title embossed in gold. The interior is composed of off white, recycled-type paper with teal green printed text and lovely illustrations.This is a quick, absorbing read that was very interesting and left me with the desire to learn more about these fascinating creatures.Recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2016* Very interesting book since I have not read much about mermaids. I am giving it to my granddaughter who is a mermaid ( really) . The illustrations are beautiful but I think my granddaughter's tail is prettier. Highly recommend this for anyone interested in mermaids, a fun and interesting read --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/102864072-mermaids-the-myths-legends-and-lore-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/102864072-mermaids-the-myths-legends-and-lore-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
