Legendary Beings is a series in which I'll talk about beings from folklore, mythology and legends that I haven't read about yet, and the books I discover that feature them.
This time, I'm looking at specific stories of water spirits/nymphs or similar. Regular readers will know I'm a huge fan of The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen, and all of the following creatures/characters I discovered through reading Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid: From Fairy-tale to National Monument by Christopher Bo Bramsen, which I bought when in Copenhagen, Denmark last year. They are all so fascinating, and I loved reading the little we're told about them in the book, but would absolutely love to read retellings of these these legends/folktales/stories.
