What’s this?!
This is an attempt to archive all available documents which deal with “Ocean Girl”.
Currently this archive contains old web-pages, some pictures and converted PDF
documents. These documents are not just a copy of the original sources. In
many cases I merged or splitted documents and corrected some things like
misspellings, translations or typographic issues to improve the quality and
readability of the document. Most content is in english, but some documents in
german (marked with ![[de]](../media/00/de.png)
) are available, too.
Have a look at the changelog to see what’s new or subscribe to the feed.
There’s a small page about “Ocean Girl” on my personal website available (1
2 ). I made some vector art and scanned the dvd covers.

Book
There is a book called “Ocean Girl”. The content is comparable to the first
season. Here are all chapters in english (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17). There is an unofficial german
translation available (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17) . As well as the first chapter taken from
the official german translation. The german translation has been released in
two parts called “Ocean Girl: Das Mädchen aus dem Meer” and “Ocean Girl: Die
Sprache der Wale”. Please read the copyright notes (1 2).
Judith Kenyon novelized season two (Intro 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14), three (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27) and four (Intro 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Final notes).
Episodes
Many people wrote episode guides which contain more or less detailed
descriptions of what’s happening in episode one (1 2 3 4 5
6), two (1 2 3 4 5), three (1 2 3 4 5) and
four (1 2 3 4 5 6). You might want to have a look at the
german episode descriptions written by ZDF .
I found an old treatment written by Peter Hepworth for season three. It describes what might have happened in season three. Note that Lena Hellegren is called Greta and Benny Malkowitch’s name is Tommy. If you want to have a look at the source of this OCR’ed text go to the gallery.
