About this audiobook
The Little Mermaid is a fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. A young mermaid is prepared to abandon her life in the sea in order to obtain a human soul. As she emerges to the surface one day, she sees a handsome prince on a ship, and falls in love with him from a safe distance. A storm hits, and the Little Mermaid rescues the prince from drowning. To her dismay, the prince never sees the Little Mermaid or even realizes that it was she who had originally saved his life... A fantastic and multi-layered classic tale!

About the author
Hans Christian Andersen, one of the best known figures in literature, is best know for combining traditional folk tales with his own great imagination to produce fairy tales known to most children today. The Danish writer was born in the slums of Odense. Although he was raised in poverty, he eventually attended Copenhagen University. Although Andersen wrote poems, plays and books, he is best known for his Fairy Tales and Other Stories, written between 1835 and 1872. This work includes such famous tales as The Emperor's New Clothes, Little Ugly Duckling, The Tinderbox, Little Claus and Big Claus, Princess and the Pea, The Snow Queen, The Little Mermaid, The Nightingale, The Story of a Mother and The Swineherd. Andersen's greatest work is still influential today, helping mold some of the works of writers ranging from Charles Dickens to Oscar Wilde and inspiring many of the works of Disney and other motion pictures. Andersen, who traveled greatly during his life, died in his home in Rolighed on August 4, 1875.
