After saving a prince from drowning, a mermaid princess embraces a life of extreme self-sacrifice to win his love and gain an immortal soul. Over a century after its first publication, Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid persists as one of the world’s most enduring works of fantasy for children. This edition combines the world-famous translation of H.B. Paull with two sets of classic illustrations, the engravings of Vilhelm Pedersen from the original Danish edition and Helen Stratton’s illustrations from the first English edition of The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Both sets provide a beautiful and dramatic visual compliment to this haunting and inexpressibly moving tale of love. Also included are notes with pronunciations and definitions of some words that may be unfamiliar to grade school readers.

Bought this product for a friends birthday and she loved it. She’s a big fan of the little mermaid and this was something that she didn’t think of buying but really liked it when she saw it.

Was very disappointed with this copy
Was very disappointed with this copy. I ordered it as a gift for my granddaughter in Canada, to go along with a mermaid which I made for her. I thought it would be a good 'heirloom' book. On arrival I was very disappointed with it as it was a very thin paperback and very cheaply printed. , not what I would call suitable for a gift. I kept the book for myself but eneded up buying her the Disney version, which really went against the grain with me. However it was bigger, cheaper and much better quality.

Beautiful book.
All girls have to love this book . The pictures are so beautiful that they could tell the story without the text.
