Many are the legends surrounding Melusine. They
often have a pixie marrying a human with the caveat that he should never
intrude on her privacy. She would build him
a fine castle with her magic, and over the years
bear him many children. He would invariably peek, and seeing that she
was a mermaid, all would be lost.
