"Legenda Maris" is a anthology of Tainth Lee's stories that feature the sea or its denizens. Of course there are tales of mermaids, and their offspring with mortal men and women. But there are far more tales than those that deal with merkind. There is a tale of a portion of a seaside town that seems to go sailing on and under the sea on certain nights, and those special people who wake to experience the journey. Then there is a story of the relationship between the sea and the shore, personified for those who know where to look for it. There is a village where the visitor can learn of their legend of a lost boat which fell from the sky. And a short story about the island special to Leviathan, where it goes to slumber upon the shore. This anthology by the late great mistress of fantasy is mostly composed of pre-published work, but contains two tales written for this book. These were among the final works Ms. Lee gave us. All of her stories are interesting and often give the reader unexpected vistas of wonder. Some tend toward darkness, but overall the collection tends more toward fantasy than horror. Definitely worth reading, especially for those who are fascinated with the sea.
