Peabody's Mermaid | 
Peabody‘s Mermaid is a fast read about finding and trying to keep, a mermaid, taking place in the 1940‘s.
The photo says “The best way for sailors to be sure of a safe voyage was for them to bribe the mermaids with books. The most strategic mariners would offer a selection of the first books in a number of series as insurance for the return journey.”
