The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story follows the journey of a young mermaid princess who is willing to give up her life in the sea as a mermaid to gain a human soul.

The little mermaid has always been one of my favourite tales. I love the characters and the story. I feel really connected to the mermaid and understand her longing for a different life. The only thing that marked it down for me was that it was so short. It could be fleshed out a lot more. Plus the mermaids love for the prince is a little too instalove. She doesn’t really know all that much about him but is willing to give up her whole life and family for him. I do like Hans Christian Andersen’s writing, so I will definitely pick up more from this author in the future.

The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gerda searches for her playmate Kay who has been abducted by the Snow Queen and taken to her frozen palace.

I quite liked this book. It’s one of those tales you think you know but should really read. It’s a great story about friendship and the lengths friends will go to to protect those dear to them. It’s an adventure that is so heartwarming and the people she meets along her journey are so kind. It’s a quick read and definitely worth your time.
