The Little Mermaid: A beautifully illustrated, magical retelling of one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved classic children's fairy tales – the perfect book for kids (Best-Loved Classics)

A magical re-telling of one of the most-beloved fairy tales, which no child’s library should be without! The Little Mermaid is curious to see the world above the water, but it’s forbidden. One day, when nobody is is looking, she slips above the waves and falls in love with a prince. Longing to see him again, she asks the Sea Witch to help her become human. But, for Sea Witch’s spell to work, the Little Mermaid must make a difficult choice . . . Will she ever see the prince again? Based on the original story by Hans Christian Andersen, this exquisite re-imagining of the classic fairy tale, loved by generations, comes ahead of the highly anticipated Disney live-action movie, The Little Mermaid. Sarah Gibb's The Little Mermaid is a prize-winning, top-rated children's book that beautifully adapts the original story into a short, multicultural narrative. This juvenile fiction is a testament to Gibb's ability to weave folklore and diversity into a compelling tale. For fans of Jessica Courtney-Tickle (The Story Orchestra), Kelly Jordan (The Little Blue Cottage), Sophie Blackall (If You Come to Earth), Kinuko Y. Craft (Cupid and Psyche), and Jan Brett (The Tale of the Tiger Slippers). HarperCollins Children's 2023
