![]() ![]() I'd like a watercolor painting of her from the beginning scene of the story. I liked the story and the way it was told, and the way everyone talked and the look of the merrow. I very much enjoyed this one after being rather ambivalent about the others. It was over at what I thought would be more the middle, and I just don't get why the fairies were afraid of the priest yet wanted him to answer their question, or why they took the fish but just for mischief. I feel like I didn't quite get it, but that's probably just poetry (and maybe a bit of a cultural gap). Being a collection of short stories more or less, it was easy to set it down between and not come back to it for a while. ![]() It begins and ends with a poem and the others are stories of varying length. I do wish it had a grass-green ribbon bookmark, though I suppose it's just too small for one. The edges are gilded gold and the pages are thick and smooth. The endpapers are a nice grassy green with a repeating knotwork design in a lighter color. I especially like the big medallion in the middle of the back cover. The cover is dark green with all kinds of Celtic knotwork in both gold and silver. ![]() I think I spent as much time just looking at this book as I did reading it. ![]()
