The Mermaid of Banff by Jan Mark
The Mermaid of banff. When I got this book I was interested by the title and based on the cover I thought it was a kids book. You can’t be to picky at a garage sale so I got it.
It is not a kids book and the Mermaid of Banff is only a tiny part of this book.
Jan Mark writes in this book about a coast to coast trip she makes in Canada she skips a big part in the middle and the whole top of Canada but besides that she writes about Canada. For me not originally from Canada I have to say I learned a lot from this book it told me a lot about the history of the country. It also told me about places in Canada I didn’t visit yet but now are on my to visit list.
The Mermaid of Banff is a great book to read it reads easy and quickly and keeps you busy. Try to find a copy and if you can’t find one you can write me I am willing to sell my for what i payed for it.

If not for this book, I would never have discovered Banff’s hidden mermaid. She looks a little creepy in person. Makes me wonder if Banff has more curiosities waiting to be remarked by an astute eye.
