A Book of Charms and Changelings
A charm is a magic spell worked with the use of an amulet, bringing about either good or ill. A changeling in fairy tales is much rarer. It is a horrid little fairy creature mischievously exchanged for a look-alike human child. Pity the one who has to try and get the real child back! In this collection, Ruth Manning-Sanders engagingly includes tales of each. A piece of amber fills up a wine jug as soon as it is emptied, a bridle can turn anything into anything, a cap can make the wearer invisible! As for changelings, there are beautiful maidens, and a raven - and more. Ruth Manning-Sanders conjured up a strange and exciting world in these tales which Robin Jacques captures so well in his fine illustrations.
Empowering Decision-Making in Midwifery
Decision-making pervades all aspects of midwifery practice across the world. Midwifery is informed by a number of decision-making theories, but it is sometimes difficult to marry these theories with practice.

A Book of Mermaids
Stories about mermaids come from almost every country by the sea-from Iceland to India; America to Arabia. Most mermaids have flowing golden hair, long graceful tails, and a beauty that lures men to the bottom of the sea. Sven, in the Danish story, "Sven and Lilli," followed Lilli to her ocean home, where "they live happily. And there, in their domed house under the sea, so people say, they are living still." But not all mermaids are beautiful, and some are unchancy creatures indeed. There is a mermaid in the Irish tale, "The Magic Lake," who has "pig's eyes and wolf's teeth, and a mouth...grinning from ear to ear." And the beautiful mermaid Groach, in the Breton story, "The Groach of the Isle of Lok," casts a spell over handsome young men, marries them, and then turns them into rainbow-colored fish. In these sixteen stories Ruth Manning-Sanders captures the quicksilver personalities of mermaids and mermen as she tells of their marvelous schemes and adventures.
