“The Little Mermaid” is a popular fairy tale by the Danish poet and author Hans Christian Anderson about a young mermaid willing to give up her life in the sea and her identity as a mermaid to gain a human soul and the love of a human prince.

Written originally as a ballet, the tale was first published in 1837 and has been adapted to various media including musical theater and animated film.
