Survival Guide For Landlocked Mermaids (H)

In A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR THE LANDLOCKED MERMAID, Margot Datz sees the she-nymph within, struggling to emerge, and proposes we revitalize her. Her contemporary mermaids are caught in the nets of their comical dilemmas, circling the heart's fishbowl of romantic longings and in the murky depths of deep emotion. Whether it's the value of cultivating an inner water garden, or coping with crow's feet and fish tails, Margot offers graceful advice and an enchanting way of seeing. This eye-catching book speaks to women of all ages. Its whimsical wisdom playfully addresses many of the more serious issues of courtship, self-esteem, and feminism today. The mermaid metaphor speaks to the intuitive, mischievous, untameable spirit of all modern women. Each picture is a portal into the mermaid's soul, and its advice is simple and compassionate. Coy, sweetly mischievous, and a pinch sagacious, this is a book of "bubble bath wisdom." And, like a martini, it can be sipped or downed in one reading. Seductive illustrations entice readers to consider this book not only for their own libraries, but also as a great gift book for birthdays, bridesmaids, or something passed down from mother to daughter, and girlfriend to girlfriend.
