Book description
The moving tale of a little mermaid, who was prepared to sacrifice
everything for the love of a prince. This mesmerizing classic is one
of the greatest love stories of all time.

can promise you that it is. For if you plant it in a young mind, it
will grow into a love of story and reading. These beans are favourite

entertain. Each story has been brilliantly crafted by one of the
best-loved writers for children.
This story was published by David Fickling Books as part of the
