"In the depths of the sea live the Sea King and his six mermaid daughters. On her fifteenth birthday, the youngest is allowed, as tradition dictates, to rise to the surface of the water for a closer look at the human world. Fascinated, she suddenly falls in love with a prince. The little mermaid agrees to give up her tail and lose the use of her voice to see if he might fall in love with her too. This exceptional edition offers a new reading of Hans Christian Andersen's best-known tale and presents historic context and letters from Andersen's correspondence. Through his illustrations and commentary, Benjamin Lacombe approaches The Little Mermaid with his modern, sensitive, and distinct artistic perspective"-- Page 4 of cover |

"Benjamin Lacombe's haunting illustrations alongside Hans Christian Andersen's classic story of love and loss showcase the tale in an enchanting new light French artist Benjamin Lacombe has created stunning, one-of-a-kind artwork to illustrate the pages of Hans Christian Andersen's original tale about a young mermaid who makes a devastating deal with a sea witch and transforms into a human, only to end up heartbroken, lose the deal, and lose her life. The book's illustrations and design are unique, captivating, and unexpectedly haunting, appealing to adult fans of Benjamin Lacombe and the pop surrealist movement as well as a younger audience, especially with the upcoming nostalgia-fueled remake of Disney's The Little Mermaid-- Provided by publisher |
