The Fisherman
The Fisherman

Alfred Romford was unprepared for the day he caught a mermaid. The chance of a fortune to be made was his first thought, of course. But that was before he had brought the creature to shore.

One glance into those deeply azure eyes and all dreams of money evaporated instantly. He really had no option but to detach the mermaid from his hook and help her back into the water.

As she swam away, he realised that the story must remain forever untold. Let it never be said that Alfred, sage and fisherman, was going silly in his old age.
