This is the classic Disney version of 'The Little Mermaid' after the cartoon that so many of us remember from childhood and that is pretty much an iconic version of this beloved old fairytale about the brave little mermaid who falls in love with a prince. In the original story she was just 'The Little Mermaid' Disney created the wonderful version of the beautiful red-headed Ariel and Eric the prince and of course her cute little friend Flounder the fish.

Book Excerpt from "The Little Mermaid" Disney Edition:

"Far beneath the ocean waves, in the land of the merpeople, lived a lovely young mermaid named Ariel. Her home was an undersea palace.

Although it was quite magnificent, she hardly ever spent time there. She preferred to go exploring with her little friend Flounder, the fish.

Ariel loved to collect objects from the world above the sea. She and Flounder would swim in and out of sunken ships, picking up whatever caught the Little Mermaid's fancy."
