The Little Mermaid: Her Story - The Writer and The Fairytale

When on a trip to Scandinavia, I purchased The Little Mermaid: Her Story, the Writer and the Fairytale, which gives the author as Per Eilstrup on the title page; he wrote the introductory material about the Little Mermaid statue located in Copenhagen. The complete text of the Hans Christian Andersen fairytale which the statue commemorates is included as the last section of the book, and his name is listed prominently on the cover. I was disappointed in the introductory material; it included numerous pictures but the information was not as complete as I heard from a guide on the hop on hop off bus in Copenhagen.
