(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Roger Roth. Zeta meets a merman on her tenth birthday and spends the early morning hours for almost two weeks (without her parents' knowledge, of course) with Marinus, who turns out to be the most remarkable of teachers. This pleasant, but not particularly original, diversion from an experienced yarnspinner contains large type, short chapters, and full-page illustrations.
