One day she swims up to the surface of the sea, where she catches a glimpse of Prince Caspar or board a salling ship and falls deeply in love. Ian Beck's powerful storytelling and jewelled illustrations bring this enchanting, timeless tale to life, making it the perfect gift for little girls everywhere!
