Mermaids: The Secret Histories by Ari Berk – review

Rachie: 'Some pages have stories, maps, even enchantments - each page is different'
  
  


This was a unique book, personally I loved it! This book is about all mer-folk and the mythical creatures of the deep in this book are the different stories they each tell. Some pages have stories, maps, even enchantments, however each page is different. Everyone will enjoy this book as they learn about artefacts left behind and towns under the sea.

The pictures in this book were beautiful and full of detail, and the stories were breathtaking. It showed lots of evidence, from songs, diaries, poems and old books which I thought brought the book to life. Although the book looks full of mainly pictures there was a lot of writing and stories which took quite a long time to read so it would be suitable for an actual reading book. The amount of detail put into the book made it so unusual.

I really liked everything about this book, especially the page about selkies as I had heard stories about them before and in another book one of my favourite characters was a selkie so I enjoyed looking at the lovely pictures and reading the facts. I even passed this book on to someone else to read but obviously I asked for it back as it just looked to lovely sitting on show on my bookcase and I think it would be lovely to go back and read the stories and be reminded of the pictures again. Overall an amazing book that I will treasure forever.
