It makes a perfect gift for mermaid lovers, writers, and even bookstagrammers or book connoisseurs who just want this lovely beauty on a shelf where it belongs! This book is so insanely gorgeous it is a work of art in and of itself. You can also check out an interview with Turgeon here! She has also written THE NEXT FULL MOON for younger readers, about the daughter of the Swan Maiden, as well as the original novel RAIN VILLAGE (Though it has an almost Thumbelina flair to it). I adore the psychological twists in GODMOTHER, the twist of Rapunzel growing up to be Snow White's evil stepmother in FAIREST OF THEM ALL (Turgeon also stopped by with a great guest post about the title upon its release), and the fact that in MERMAID, you get the perspectives of both the mermaid AND the convent princess from Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid, which you almost never see. Turgeon has also written books that blend fairy tales and lore into original novels. THE MERMAID HANDBOOK: An Alluring Treasury of Literature, Lore, Art, Recipes and Projects by Carolyn Turgeon and the Editors of Faerie Magazine is lush and gorgeous and the perfect addition to any home library! There's also a FAERIE HANDBOOK that recently came out, which I reviewed here and did a video review for here!
