A wide-ranging, beautifully illustrated history of mermaids and merman.
People have been fascinated by merpeople since ancient times. From the sirens of Homer’s Odyssey to Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid and the film Splash (1984), myths, stories and legends of half-human, half-fish creatures abound. In modern times ‘mermaiding’ has gained popularity among cosplayers throughout the world. In Merpeople: A Human History, Vaughn Scribner traces the long history of mermaids and mermen, taking in a wide variety of sources and using 117 striking illustrations. From film to philosophy, church halls to coffee-houses, ancient myth to modern science, Scribner shows that mermaids and tritons are – and always have been – everywhere.
