A beloved classic illustrated by Bernadette Watts–one of Europe’s most recognized and beloved fairy-tale artists! There is only one way the Little Mermaid can win the prince’s heart and gain an immortal soul: she must agree to the sea witch’s terrible deal–give up her voice in return for a pair of legs. But will her dream come true? Bernadette brings to new life this world-famous, unabridged fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen–immersing the reader in the magical world beneath the sea.
Hans Christian Andersen was born in 1805 in Odense, Denmark. Andersen became famous for his collection of 156 fairy tales: his were the most important art fairy tales of the Biedermeier period. He died in 1875 in Copenhagen.
Bernadette Watts, known throughout Europe simply as Bernadette, has illustrated many dozens of folk- and fairy tales. Born in England, she loved to draw from childhood. Bernadette’s many beautiful books include The Snow Queen and The Ugly Duckling.
