Description:A criticism and interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. Throughout his life, Hans Christian Andersen was enthralled by imaginative creatures, which he wrote about in many of his fairy-tales. His fascination with the supernatural also included mermaids and mermen who, according to the old legends and popular traditions, lived at the bottom of the sea and the lakes. Andersen's fairy-tale "The Little Mermaid" from 1836 has become one of his best known stories. This book reproduces the much loved fair-tale, but also recounts how it came about, and how it has since inspired artists around the world, thus making its mark on art, music, ballet, opera, and cartoons alike.
