Featuring beloved characters such as the Little Mermaid, Thumbelina, and the Snow Queen, this deluxe full-colour edition of Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tales is illustrated with stunning drawings and interactive artwork from MinaLima, the award-winning design studio behind the graphics for the Harry Potter film franchise.

This beautiful unabridged edition brings together many of the Danish writer’s favourite stories that have become literary classics, including The Little Mermaid, Thumbelina, The Snow Queen, The Princess and the Pea, The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor’s New Clothes, and more.

The thirteen stories in The Little Mermaid and Other Fairy Tales are illustrated with specially commissioned artwork and ten exclusive interactive features, including:

  • A dial with six mermaids
  • A Duckling transforming into a swan
  • Mattresses that pull away to reveal a pea
