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.

Beautiful and unique
This is a gorgeous adaption, beautifully narrated and sung by Leigh-Anne Pinnock. This is more of a soundscape than simple storytelling, really immersive and completely unique. Would love to hear more audible originals like this!

Beautiful adaptation
A beautiful adaptation of the classic tale. Singing is beautiful. Leanne is a wonderful narrator, and I like how it blends the time of then and now.

Loved it!
I didn't know what to expect because I hadn't listened to the sample first, but I really enjoyed this. I knew the story of the little mermaid but I didn't know how it would be adapted. I thought the background music and sound added to the story. The narration was great as well. He storytelling was superb.

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.

Loved everything about this
Not only is Leigh-Anne's narration beautiful, emotional and her voice sounds great, but the sound production, the songs and music are beautiful too. Loved listening to my first audiobook and the story fits perfectly at the end with the message of inspiration; it correlates with Leigh's career and it's just a beautiful cherry on top for this story. Loved it from beginning to end.
Congrats to the whole team for this wonderful project 🧜🏾♀️🌊
