Mermaids: Sirens of the Sea

Editorial Reviews Book Description Icons of the sea, pop culture seductresses, and mythical sirens-mermaids have been swimming in and out of our collective consciousness since the beginning of recorded time, and their images have graced folk-art pieces for centuries. Here's a gorgeous gift book about these legendary sea nymphs that gracefully combines full color art, including paintings, sculptures, and illustrations by Paul Gaugin and Gustav Klimt, with literary quotations and lore that span more than 2,000 years. Text includes selections from Ovid, Shakespeare, Goethe, Melville, and Poe, plus "The Little Mermaid" and "The Legend of Undine." About the Author Kerry Colburn is the author of The Woman's Book of Simple Delights.
