Answer the enchanting siren call of the mermaid with this comprehensive, lavishly illustrated and intricately designed one-of-a-kind lifestyle compendium from the editor in chief of Faerie Magazine and author of The Faerie Handbook and globally published novel Mermaid, packed with lore, legends, facts and trivia, beautiful illustrations, and numerous step-by-step projects and recipes.

Beautiful, seductive, mysterious, and potentially dangerous, the mermaid is a global literary and pop culture icon whose roots date back to ancient sea goddesses and Greek mythology. From Homer's Odyssey and Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale The Little Mermaid to T.S. Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and the Disney animated film The Little Mermaid, this sea vixen has long seduced popular imagination. Cosmetic companies have drawn inspiration for their makeup lines from mermaids, as have designers throughout fashion history, from Jean Patou to Jean Paul Gaultier and Alexander McQueen. The fishtail dress is a perennial long red-carpet staple, favored by the likes of Marion Cotillard, Sofia Vergara, and Blake Lively.

Divided into four sections--Fashion and Beauty; Arts and Culture; Real Mermaids and Where to Find Them; and Food, Entertaining and Stories of the Sea--The Mermaid Handbook is a unique and sumptuous compilation filled with creative ideas for decorating and living inspired by these beauties from the deep. Learn to make a sailor's valentine; a mermaid comb and crown; and a pearl and sequin paillette necklace. There are recipes for mermaid-themed poke bowls, aquatic-themed honey gingerbread cookies, and the official cocktail of the 1960s-era mermaid attraction Aquarama.

Folklore expert Carolyn Turgeon also includes profiles of true modern mermaids, tail makers, and mermaid bars; visits mermaid attractions like Weeki Wachee Springs; and provides tips on getting beachy mermaid hair and creating an alluring eye. This collector's item also includes an inset image on the front cover; ornate metallic blue foil patterning on the front, spine, and back; blue stained edges; a satin bookmark, and quality paper.

Great for small dog fetch
Style: 14" Length Sport Launcher
We love this for keeping our hands clean and saving our shoulders while playing fetch. Not sure why this size is so incredibly difficult to find (not in any stores in our area). It fits both the small rubber and tennis ball types. We have a 15lb rat terrier, and he loves it.

Ball is very small
Style: 14" Length Sport Launcher
It says it’s for small dogs up to 15LB. My doggie is 15 LB and this is way small. It’s a tiny ball. If your dog is 12LB to 20LB I would get the next size up to small.

Comes with a fabric covered ball
Style: 14" Length Sport Launcher
Disappointed in this. I have the large size and expected a smaller version of the rubber ball. Instead this came with a ball covered in fabric. The dogs I bought it for won't play with the ball. Maybe it is my fault for not reading more closely but why would Chuck-It even sell something so cheap and poorly made. Dogs can easily rip the fabric off the rubber (which is in two pieces). Very strangely made. Now I have buy a ball to use it.
