![]() ![]() So in case any of you aren’t familiar with Andersen’s story, I suggest reading it here, or you can find a different translation that you like.Īndersen’s story is about love and sacrifice. And because of that, most people probably aren’t familiar with Andersen’s story, but rather with Ariel’s. Turgeon’s novel actually retells Andersen’s story while Disney’s…sort of doesn’t. But Ariel has come to define what a mermaid is hell, even the cover of Turgeon’s book has got a red-headed mermaid on it, and the mermaid in this version, Lenia, is blonde. ![]() Let’s face it, Ariel has invaded everywhere. That is about to change with this book, Mermaid by Carolyn Turgeon.īut before I do, I want to address the Disney version. So far in this blog, I haven’t reviewed anything based on The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. ![]()
