by Hans Christian Andersen (Author), Various (Illustrator)
A timeless tale of transformation and sacrifice, The Little Mermaid invites readers to rediscover one of Hans Christian Andersen's most enduring stories.
Beneath the waves of an underwater kingdom, a young mermaid dreams of the human world above the sea. Fascinated by its beauty and mystery, she treasures relics salvaged from shipwrecks, longing for a life beyond the ocean's depths. When she rescues a young prince from drowning, her curiosity deepens into love, and she makes a perilous bargain to walk among humans. In exchange for her voice and the safety of her former life, the mermaid embraces a life of silence and uncertainty, unaware of the full cost her of her sacrifice.
