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.
This deluxe volume gathers a stunning collection of illustrations from masters of the Golden Age, including Arthur Rackham, W. Heath Robinson, Harry Clarke, and Honor Appleton, and more. Atmospheric and deeply moving, this edition is an essential keepsake for collectors of fairy tales and lovers of classic illustrated literature.
