Answer the enchanting siren call of the mermaid with this comprehensive, lavishly illustrated and intricately designed one-of-a-kind lifestyle compendium from the editor in chief of Faerie Magazine and author of The Faerie Handbook and globally published novel Mermaid, packed with lore, legends, facts and trivia, beautiful illustrations, and numerous step-by-step projects and recipes.
Beautiful, seductive, mysterious, and potentially dangerous, the mermaid is a global literary and pop culture icon whose roots date back to ancient sea goddesses and Greek mythology. From Homer's Odyssey and Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale The Little Mermaid to T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and the Disney animated film The Little Mermaid, this sea vixen has long seduced popular imagination. Cosmetic companies have drawn inspiration for their makeup lines from mermaids, as have designers throughout fashion history, from Jean Patou to Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander McQueen.
The fishtail dress is a perennial long red-carpet staple, favored by the likes of Marion Cotillard, Sofia Vergara, and Blake Lively.
Divided into four sections-Fashion and
Beauty; Arts and Culture; Real Mermaids and Where to Find Them; and
Food, Entertaining and Stories of the Sea-The Mermaid Handbook is a
unique and sumptuous compilation filled with creative ideas for
decorating and living inspired by these beauties from the deep. Learn to
make a sailor's valentine; a mermaid comb and crown; and a pearl and
sequin paillette necklace. There are recipes for mermaid-themed poke
bowls, aquatic-themed honey gingerbread cookies, and the official
cocktail of the 1960s-era mermaid attraction Aquarama.
