What is a Little Mermaid Activity? 

The Little Mermaid

Hans Christian Andersen was a storyteller and poet who lived in Denmark from April 2, 1805 - August 5, 1875.  His most famous works include such fairy tales as The Little Mermaid, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Ugly Duckling and Thumbellina. A small bronze statue of the Little Mermaid was created by Edvard Erikson and still sits in the water in Copenhagen, Denmark.
