Allison lives surrounded by an entourage of animals, including her supportive little dogs, Breakfast and Pancake.

Klappentext

Did you hear that? Was it the effervescent fizz of sea foam? The chattering of pebbles being tumbled about by the ocean? Or was it something?or someone?else? Beneath the waves of Prince Edward Island, mermaids have lived for centuries, their stories hidden in the tides. Each shore, cove, and beach holds their secrets and stories, and an ancient magic that flows around the tiny island.

Get ready to meet these mystical creatures in Mermaids of Prince Edward. As you travel with them from the red sands of Cavendish to the rugged cliffs of Thunder Cove, the Island's mermaids will show you fascinating glimpses into their secret world and lives.

The illustrations throughout the book are inspired by Art Nouveau, mixing fantasy with the beauty of PEI. This collection invites readers to think about a world that exists under the waves, a world where every beach has a story waiting to be told. Whether you are new to PEI or have walked its shores many times, this book will give new perspectives to familiar places we all love.
