Description

Somehow mermen, in their zest for life and good humor, blunder into the most outlandish situations.

On the one hand, mermen's brave sensitivity means they willingly sing about their feelings—even when women watch or sea monsters lurk nearby. On the other hand, mermaids' reputation for allure is only matched by mermen's reputation for bravado.

(See the bit about singing near sea monsters).

Overall, however, these compelling creatures' adventurous nature gets themselves into surprises in a variety of ways.

This book holds stories of their exploits.

In "The Cursed Merman," a delivery transaction due at the beach of Breadcove Bay goes horribly wrong in the most unexpected of ways.

In "Encounter at the Tide Pools," Jaire attempts to catch a glimpse of Dari and runs into trouble of the nautical kind.

"The Sea King's Jeweled Flask" finds Jasper, the merman magistrate, on a strange mission to a drylander destination now that he's got his land legs.

"In the Healer's Hut" follows the further doings of Jaire and his new land friends.

And in "Water and the Mer-Angel," a beautiful and mysterious creature makes a confounding request.

These five new short stories explore five adventures—or misadventures—of mermen. Exploring the world, and sometimes running into unexpected circumstances.
