One of my favourite folktales is 'The Mermaid of Zennor'. It's a Cornish tale which tells about a mermaid who falls in love with Mathey Trewella, the best singer of the parish. The couple disappears and are never seen on land again.

Selkies on film: The Secret of Roan Inish (1994) and Song of the Sea (2014). Two movies so enchanting it's hard not to feel the call to the water yourself.
