From its first publication as a fairy tale told by Hans Christian Andersen,
The Little Mermaid has been enthralling children and adults alike
with its story of the transforming power of love. In 1989, Disney put little
Ariel on film, gave her flaming red hair and an Oscar-winning musical score,
and, in the process, reinvented the animated feature as a viable art form.
Now the creative powers at Disney have reimagined the mermaid and her friends
again, bringing one of Disney's most beloved princesses to the stage. The
Little Mermaid:
The Story of a Tale is a look at the process of morphing a 19th-century
story and a 20th-century film into a stage event for the 21st century.
This oversized, profusely illustrated book traces the evolution of The
LittleMermaid from its inception in Denmark, through its triumphant
animation, to the hit Broadway stage version now playing in New York. In
addition to photographs of the show and its rehearsals, the book will explore
the creative process with extensive looks behind the scenes. Writer Michael
Lassell interviews Francesca Zambello and choreographer Steven Mear, writer
Doug Wright and composer Alan Menken, designers George Tsypin and Tanya
Noginova as well as all the stars in the show's extraordinarily talented
cast. This is a grown-up book for children of all ages.

The Little Mermaid can't wait to turn fifteen so she can swim
to the surface of the sea. She wants to see the tall mountains, lovely
sunsets, and people walking on two legs. When the little mermaid finally
reaches land, she falls in love with a charming prince. She will be forced
to give up the sea forever to remain with her true love. "The Little Mermaid,"
"The Steadfast Tin Soldier," "The Tinderbox," and "Thumbelina" are all
included in this collection, and will take readers on rich, magical adventures.
The Little Mermaid's universal longing for freedom, independence, and
love is made real by Santore's sensitive presentation. School Library
Journal said, "The opulent full-page watercolors are a perfect complement
to this stylish and authentic interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen's
fairy tale."
