Local author Nancy Lee Amos has released The Mystical Mermaid of Victoria-by-the-Sea, a colourful tale about Lavender, a beautiful purple-haired mermaid who arrives in the village one day in May.

“Come lose yourself in the heart of Victoria, and you might just find yourself falling in love with the village, the villagers, the cast of characters, and, of course, one special Mystical Mermaid!” says Amos.

In this interactive book for all ages, readers follow the mermaid’s path on her quest to find her mother, who was lost at sea. From the exciting moment the mystical mermaid arrives on the shores of Victoria, readers can discover where Lavender went, what she ate, what she saw, the treasures she bought, and the villagers she met who helped bring this magical tale to life.

Copies are available for purchase in Victoria at Wave Co., Bittersweet Rose, Victoria Studio & Market, Birchtree Gallery Shop, and Basket Case. To order a copy by mail anywhere in Canada, contact the author directly at na************@***il.com.
