Summary
Immerse yourself in an Audible Original production of The Little Mermaid.
A magical retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale, narrated by singer-songwriter Leigh-Anne Pinnock. Produced in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, and featuring vocals from anaiis, Kersha Bailey, Sariah Rowe and Nadine Samuels, this is The Little Mermaid like you’ve never heard it before.
Deep beneath the ocean, there is a shimmering palace. Built of coral walls and windows of clearest amber, it is the kingdom of the merpeople. And one of these mermaids you might know well: she is the youngest, and is gifted with the most beautiful voice.
Unhappy with her life as a mermaid, she dreams of living on dry land. One day, on her birthday, she ascends to the surface to find a magnificent three-masted ship drifting in calm waters. There, amongst the passengers, she meets the brown-eyed prince.
To win his affection, the little mermaid sells a piece of herself—and is faced with a monumental choice.
So put on your headphones, close your eyes and join Leigh-Anne Pinnock on a journey to the depths of the ocean.
For younger listeners, parental guidance is advised.
Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

The original little mermaid
I was surprised they adapted the original version, I read it when I was very little and was shocked at the end. I like the smoothness used here to explain the end. The narrator has a very kind voice, beautiful singing voice and music is wonderful. I recommend listening to this story using headphones so you can fully appreciate the music. What a lovely adaptation.

Wonderful narration
The story that we all know and love with a little twist. Gorgeous singing performances and a wonderful narration by one of my favourite singers - It's a shame she didn't also sing but the way she narrated the story was so captivating and brilliant.

How lovely it was to listen to this “ personalized and modernized” version of a famous childhood classic. I was totally enchanted by the narrator’s sweet voice. It made my Sunday morning brighter.
