The Little Mermaid, by Hans Christian Andersen + Yayoi Kusama

$35.00

Despite being born over a century apart, and in Denmark and Japan respectively, Hans Christian Andersen and Yayoi Kusama are an ideal match in this version of Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid.” Kusama’s always beautiful illustrations—squiggly patterns and wild creatures—complement the magical and heartbreaking fairytale. This is one for kids of all ages, but remember the original ending of this story is much different than the Disney one.

The end result looks good enough to eat and makes for a fun party decoration to boot.
