Now out: The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen

“Far out at sea, the water is as blue as cornflower petals and as clear as the purest glass.” So begins this version/translation of the well known fairy tale. It is nicely told here. The text is accompanied by pen and ink drawings that enhance the text. This Hans Christian Anderson tale is the basis for the Disney movie but is not the same. Read this for yourself or with a child that you know.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to reread this beautifully written story. All opinions are my own.

I love to read, recommend books and open the world of reading to others. I tutor to ensure that the next generation of readers will know the joys of a good book because their reading skills have improved. I am an avid reader, especially of mysteries and fiction. I believe that two of the world's greatest inventions were the public library and eyeglasses!
