PEEK INSIDE SUE MONK KIDD's JOURNAL ONLINE:
Here's the link to Monk Kidd's journal page that talks about the inspiration for the THE MERMAID CHAIR book
(see link :http://www.suemonkkidd.com/journal.asp?i=2&j=M) Monk Kidd explains: "While talking with a friend about her trip to Cornwall, England, she casually mentioned that she’d seen a “mermaid chair” in a small church. She described it as a chair with a mermaid carved on its side which had been in the church for centuries though the reason seemed to be a mystery."

TWO WINGED MERMAIDS.....
Later in that journal entry, Monk Kidd explains: " I went around for a while after that with the image of a mermaid chair vividly planted in my mind: not like the actual chair in the Cornish church, rather a chair whose arms were formed by the carved bodies of two winged mermaids"
