Mermaid Fairytale History and Trivia:

When did our fascination with mermaids begin?  Perhaps one of the most famous mermaid stories is the one that has originated from the Danish poet, Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875).  It tells about how a little Mermaid at age 15, for the first time swims to the surface of the sea, where she fell in love with the Prince she saved from drowning.  She lost her fish tail, when she sold her voice to the evil sea witch, who in return gave her the "most beautiful legs any girl could ever have".  The mermaid wanted to win the Prince and an immortal soul so she could be with the Prince forever.  Sounds familiar?  Disney's Little Mermaid Story was inspired by this original tale. 

Little Mermaid Sculpture in Copenhagen, Denmark

A Mermaid sculpture has then been created and was put up in 1913 on the shores of Denmark.  It has become one of the most popular symbol and landmark of this country.  The sculpture was made by sculptor Edvard Eriksen and was unveiled in 1913.
