The Little Mermaid (with Original Illustrations)

Over a century after its first publication, Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" persists as one of the world's most enduring works of fantasy for children.

This edition combines the world-famous translation of H.B. Paull with two sets of classic illustrations, the engravings of Vilhelm Pedersen from the original Danish edition and Helen Stratton's illustrations from the first English edition of "The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen." Both sets provide a beautiful and dramatic visual compliment to this haunting and inexpressibly moving tale of love.

Also included are notes with pronunciations and definitions of some words that may be unfamiliar to grade school readers.
