Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The collaborative effort of India's Gond tribal artist Bhaiju Shyam, and the two superbly talented storytellers Sirish Rao and Gita Wolf, "Flight Of The Mermaid" is a retelling of the Hans Christian Anderson fairytale story of 'The Little Mermaid'. Rao, Wolf, and Shyam have reformed this timeless tale into a compelling feminist parable on the conundrums of love and choice. The book itself is a memorable and impressive work of the publisher's art being partly letter-pressed by hand on tea-stained handmade paper. "Flight Of The Mermaid" is both highly recommended reading and a superb addition to a bibliophile's personal collection.

Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's haunting yet bleak tale, this simple and lyrical version of The Little Mermaid is faithful to—yet different from—the original. The ending in particular suggests both the sorrow that impends upon love and loss, as well as the possibilities of a life of freedom beyond the emotional struggle. The art by acclaimed Gond artist Bhajju Shyam is delicate, evocative, and magical, contrasting the worlds of land and ocean and the strange inner life of the mermaid and her sisters.
Letterpressed on tea-stained handmade paper, this is a truly handsome numbered collector\'s edition.
