About this listen

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.

Excellent!

I love how they’ve brought this classic tail into the modern world! They’ve chosen a tale of old and taking it out of Disney’s hands, and made it enjoyable for all. Very well done!
