The Little Mermaid

First two titles in a new series of best-loved Hans Christian Andersen stories, now in the Orchard Fairy Tales format. Each book contains two stories: THE LITTLE MERMAID / THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES / THE TINDER BOX These direct, accessible retellings by Andrew Matthews are pacy and full of humour, and ideal for 7-9 year olds. Forming a useful teaching resource of traditional tales, they are perfectly complemented by Peter Bailey's classic can humorous illustrations.
