Description

Discover the original Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale that inspired the classic Disney movie!

This stunningly romantic interpretation features gorgeous jewel-toned illustrations—one on every page!—that will delight young readers, 7-10.

Six young sisters live in the depths of the ocean, longing for the chance to see the beauty of the earth. Most eager of all is the youngest mermaid, who counts the days to her 15th birthday when her grandmother will finally allow her to rise to the surface.

Her first sight above the water is a large ship on which a beautiful prince is celebrating his 16th birthday. Immediately she falls in love, and so begins her determined quest to join the prince on earth as a human.

Full of wonder and heart, The Little Mermaid remains one of the most powerful fairy tales ever written, and this gorgeously illustrated translation gives it renewed life.
