An exquisite retelling of the famous, much-loved Hans Christian Andersen story. Once, long ago, there was a beautiful little mermaid with skin as pale as the palest rose petals and eyes the colour of the ocean itself. One day she swims up to the surface of the sea, where she catches a glimpse of Prince Caspar on board a sailing ship and falls deeply in love with him. Ian Beck’s sparkling illustrations and stunning underwater images bring this enchanting, bittersweet tale to life.
