      About This Book

      How much are you willing to sacrifice in the name of love?

      In the beloved fairy tale ´The Little Mermaid´, Hans Christian Andersen beautifully depicts a mermaid princess' tranquil but tragic life under the sea. Curious about humans, the princess daringly ventures above the surface and finds herself drawn to a human prince.

      However, being unable to do anything about her growing love for the prince, she eventually seeks help from a mystical sea witch, who changes her life forever - but at what cost?

      A story which uncovers themes such as unrequited love and alienation, ´The Little Mermaid´ is the ideal read for fans of Guillermo del Toro's ´The Shape of Water´.

      A live-action remake featuring Halle Bailey is set to release in 2023.
