Description

A young mermaid loves a human prince and bargains with the sea witch for legs at the price of her voice and constant pain, then watches him choose another bride until foam and the daughters of the air claim what human love would not. Andersen’s tragic fairy tale of desire, sacrifice, and a strange mercy beyond death. Other tales open further doors of wonder.
