I wanted to include a Canadian folktale so my final #FolktaleWeek2023 #FolktaleWeekFound illustration is of the Mermaid of the Magdalenes. I liked the idea that this fairytale is about something as prosaic as finding tinned sardines.
The rugged east coast Magdalene Islands are all but barren of grass & trees, but the waters are rich in fish and people called it the “Kingdom of Fishes”.
