about

This is the 2nd of two podcasts devoted to telling and exploring the fairy tale of The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. (Part 1 is still available on this Latest Programs album).

And so we reach the end of the story. Many questions remain.

What was Andersen’s “happy ending” for his Little Mermaid? Can you imagine making such a bargain, simply to gain the opportunity to TRY to win your deepest desire? Was the youngest mermaid the foolish victim of dangerous romantic fantasies or does the story tell us something about the real value of love?

Whatever answers you find to the questions raised by this story, I hope you’ll pursue them as valuable reflections of your own heart, mind, and soul.
