Beskrivelse
In this series of books on traditional folktales, we travel, together, all around the world. The fairy tales that make it up aren't just artificial products though- they're the result of the creative imaginations of generations of humans all over the world. In this book we shall explore the traditional, age-old stories our ancestors have told us about Mermaids and Water Spirits.We humans have always been fascinated by the water. It is mysterious as well as nourishing. Now a swift-running, clear brook that gives us life and refreshment on a hot summer day; now a dark, violent sea threatening us with violence.We can't control it. And, just like everything that escapes us or exceeds us, we want to understand it.From this deep craving for discovery, for answers, our ancestors crafted countless stories. These tell us about the inhabitants of the deep, of those who live in the water regions. They are like us, and yet different. They embody the Other whose existence allows us to be ourselves and to love the world.
