Celtic Mermaids

This book is a great read and informational too. It takes place in Cornwall and the Scilly Isles in Roman times....The story, characters (very well formed) and plot/sub-plots are rich with detail. Learning about a little known period of Brittany was enticing enough to make me want to go there and visit. I first read this book as a 12 year in Jr. High. Excellent book for young adults and adults. Hard to find.

The Mermaid's Daughter

Astria lives on the Isles of Scilly during the time of theRoman occupation of Great Britain and has been chosen to be theMermaid's Daughter, a sacred religious role decreed by theGoddess... Beautifully written tale about the loss of innocence and love.
