The Little Mermaid loves to watch humans. One day, she saves a young prince from drowning. She begins to spend more time watching the prince and his fascinating world. She approaches a sea witch, who offers to cast an irreversible spell to give her legs. The little mermaid accepts and begins to live on land, where she befriends the prince! Eventually, she begins to miss her home - should she return to the sea?

Traditional Fairy Tale modernised by Childs Play.

Illustrator biography:
Laura Barella was born in Italy in a countryside area near the Alpi mountains. After completing her Diploma at Artistic High School she attended the European Institute of Design in Turin. She started working as a naturalistic illustrator and for several years she has illustrated for children’s books.

She plays the piano and she likes to play early music for viola da gamba with her friends. She loves lakes and she likes, when she can, to take a rowing boat, a book, a camera and spend a beautiful afternoon on the lake.

• In this modernised version, the Little Mermaids primary motivation for gaining legs is so that she can learn more about the world. 
• Written with young readers in mind, this book features appropriate vocabulary and an economic, fast-moving style. 
• Colourful, illustrations on every page will support and captivate beginning readers.
• Familiar plots and story structure gives confidence to early readers.
• Research shows that fairy tales are crucial to childrens development. They nurture moral behaviour and show young people the strengths and weaknesses inherent in human nature.
