The Little Mermaid Commemorative Edition – published

January 30, 2013 By Mermaids of Earth

The Little Mermaid - Commemorative Edition

My book, The Little Mermaid Commemorative Edition, just got published as an e-book through Amazon Kindle.

It is a modern English translation of the classic fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen, and commemorates the 100 Year Anniversary of the famous bronze mermaid statue of The Little Mermaid, which was unveiled in August of 1913 at Langelinie Park near Copenhagen Harbor, and which has since been an icon of Copenhagen and Denmark.

The book is illustrated with photos of the mermaid statue and most of its replicas around the world, along with 4 original illustrations from 1849, and photos of the key people involved in the story and the creation of the statue.

The printed version of this book will be released probably within the next 4 weeks.
