The Mermaid of Zennor has been a project spanning almost two years

Exploring the story of the the folk story of Zennor Mermaid originally published by William Bottrell and retold in many different ways since that publication.

This is my offering to the story along with poetry that attempts to give the characters a voice.

My interest in William Morris influences my ideas for the style and look of the book.

My interest in William Morris has influenced

the design of the book.

The last great project of Morris's life was the Chaucer, printed by Kelmscott Press.

William Morris designed the fonts and boarders and Edward C Burn-Jones the illustrustrion.

​

​

The intention and aim

​

The boarder designs will be made into 

Stone lithographs

in the spirit of Kelmscott Press

has a limited addition.
