The Little Mermaid & Other Stories by Hans Christian Anderson

I remember getting this book for my birthday, two years ago! I love all things mermaid and I was really excited for this one. I should have researched it because only about 50 pages are the story!! The rest of this book is various short stories. The rest of the stories were just not that …
