"The Little Mermaid"
Illustrated by Ashley Lovett

Ashley Lovett brings you an authentic version of Hans Christian Andersen’s 1830’s “The Little Mermaid.”

The little mermaid has always yearned for the strange and exciting life of the humans. For humans have ever lasting souls and mermaids merely return to the ocean as sea foam upon their death.

After saving a human man during a sea storm, she soon desires his love and an eternal soul. Naive and desperate, the little mermaid turns to the banished sea witch among the whirlpools. The exchange to be human is high. Scared, but determined, she begins her journey.

Lit with bioluminescence, the bottom of the ocean is a dark mystery as alluring as the human world above. Lovett’s little mermaid is given relevant internal thoughts and agency over her choices which makes them at once more understandable and heartbreaking.
