Editorial Reviews

From shores as separate as Ireland and Indian and America comes one of the freshest collections in this well-established series, with a succession of droll, tender, arresting images: great-grandmother riding the wave in her rocking chair in ""Sven and Lilli""; the young sailor kicked out of the Kingdom of Ocean by the statue of a little warrior: every creature of the sea jumping and spinning and leaping to Maurice's magical tune; the fat, scraggle-toothed mermaid in ""The Magic Lake"" and the untidy mermaid in the story of the same name. The American contribution, ""Long John and the Mermaid,"" is a small marvel--a mermaid undone by her love for a whale, but what a grand ride she has first! An abundance for reading or telling.
