Title: intriguing collection of the sea's effect on the imagination
Product review: "The sea, that marvel of creation, immense and mysterious, silent or stormy, smooth or agitated, troubled and treacherous, has from time immemorial appealed to the imagination of primitive man."A collection/retelling of stories, folk tales and lore, and beliefs of seamen around the world, from explanations of sea phenomenon (St. Elmo's Fire and waterspouts) to various omens, from Davy Jones to sea monsters to ghost ships to mermaids and mermen. Very interesting, esspecially for folklore fanatics. Grade: B+
