About This Item
Binding slightly skewed so that front and rear edges don't match exactly at the foredges. Otherwise, a Near Fine copy with these beautiful illustrations. The same illustrations on the dust-jacket as on the book itself. Some rubbing on jacket and a little wrinkling of edges, plus one short taped tear.
Synopsis
Once there was a little mermaid who fell in love with a human boy . . . The story may be familiar, but Lisbeth Zwerger's art makes this fairytale seem brand-new. This Jubilee edition, celebrating 200 years of Hans Christian Andersen, is superbly illustrated in Zwerger's signature style. Known for her popular and award-winning editions of classics such as The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, Zwerger is herself the recipient of the Hans Christian Andersen Medal for lasting contributions to children's literature. The Little Mermaid is sure to win her new fans, and to delight her old ones. The text is an all-new translation by Anthea Bell, and includes many lovely and poignant details that may be new to even those who think they know the little mermaid's story well.
