About this listen
Take one mermaid, one dismayed young man, and an upper-class social set - and mix well for the frothiest classic since topper!
In the tradition of Thorne Smith's Topper and Ron Howard's Splash comes this 1935 madcap romantic fantasy of an ordinary man whose life is turned upside-down and backward when he rescues a charming, but utterly uninhibited mermaid. From the leading romance magazine of its time, The Naughty Mermaid is available for the first time ever in audiobook form.
In this George F. Worts screwball classic, "For those who like smooth romance with excitement lurking in every chapter" (Oakland Tribune), you will meet:
- Wellington Peal, who discovers that finding a mischievous female naked on a beach isn't as much fun as he thought - if she is a mermaid.
- Zixie, whose real name translated from mer is "girl with her eye to the wormhole of a conch shell" - which means she is terribly curious.
- Patricia Trumbull, Wellington's fiancée, who loved only Wellington Peal and was certain he loved only her - but would she be as certain if she saw him in the embrace of a beautiful young woman dressed in the "all together"?
- Aunt Hattie, a staid, upper-crust, and highly-proper New England matron whose ideas of correct decorum were about to be outraged in ways she never dreamed of.
- Wilkins, Aunt Hattie's long-suffering butler, whose dreary days were about to be lit by the sudden appearance of the most vivacious, charming young woman he had ever met.
- Premier Gustanzo, the most powerful man in Europe, whose dignity and pride in his beard knew no equal - until a certain mermaid took it into her head to pull it.

Not a fan of this narrator
The story is ok. Awful creaky voice from the narrator. American accent at its worst.

funny story, but it could have been better
i didnt mind the book, the story was nice and in line with how a man (or many) would react to a mermaid. what i did mind was the marilyn monroe interpretation chosen by the narrator as the mermaid voice. i get the frivolous and curious personality of the mermaid would go with the marilyn tone, but it felt like mocking and i didn't enjoy it. that is my personal preference, but said that, she still did a good job with the narration and had a good range of tones. i received a free copy of this audiobook and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
