Today’s Spooky Legend story and characters fit together perfectly, that’s because we have a real life mermaid telling us the legendary Mermaid of Zennor story. Jaclyn Dolamor’s Esmerine from BETWEEN THE SEA AND SKY (available now from Bloomsbury Childrens USA).  If you missed my review, I said, “I was completely swept away by this tender and mournful love story.” Want to read it yourself? Jaclyn is giving away a copy & MAGIC UNDER GLASS.  See details below.

The Mermaid of Zennor 
by
Jaclyn Dolamore

 

ESMERINE: Alan, when you were a messenger, did you ever hear any stories about mermaids from other parts of the world? I heard there are mermaids up in the north, and I wondered what they were like.
ALAN: Well, once I did hear some travelers telling a story of the mermaid of Zennor. She sounds like the opposite of you. She didn't leave the sea, she bewitched a man to follow her into it and no one ever saw him again.
