The Little Mermaid

“Far out in the ocean, where the water is as blue as the prettiest cornflower, and as clear as crystal, it is very deep, so deep that no cable could reach the bottom: many church steeples, piled one upon another, would not reach from the ground beneath to the surface of the water above.”

So begins the story of the Little Mermaid’s true love for a terrestrial Prince, for whom she sacrifices the most precious things she has: her voice and her life.
