What the Conch Shell Sings When the Body Is Gone - Katherine Vaz
Based on the danish tale “The Little Mermaid”, by Hans Christian Andersen
A kind of redemption happy ending for The Little Mermaid happens in this totally real-life-contemporary version of the tale.
I like the smells that it evokes, the two of the protagonist (and the antagonist) being cook chefs. But I feel a loss for the “mermaid” part by the middle of it…

The Mermaid in the Tree - Timothy Schaffert Based on the danish tale “The Little Mermaid”, by Hans Christian Andersen I don’t know about you, but I grew up with the Disney version of The Little Mermaid, so when I read the original version, with the mermaid turning into sea bubble in the end… I was so mad with Andersen! This tale is very interesting because it unites the girl the “prince” marries in the end and the “poor” mermaid. It is an even sadder story, but well built. It happens in a reality totally different from ours, but we can draw it on our imagination little by little.

Green Air - Rikki Ducornet
Based on the danish tale “The Little Match Girl”, by Hans Christian Andersen
I never liked Little Match Girl, because of the sad ending. No angel appearing while the girls is dying will ever comfort me. This story is also based on another tale that I don’t like: Bluebeard.
So it is fair to say that I didn’t have any sympathy for the modern story in the beginning - but it didn’t add any likeness to the math.
The story is full of questions, no answer and a ambiguous ending. No salvation, but no lesson. Yep, I’ll skip this tale if I read this book again.

Halfway People - Karen Joy Fowler
Based on the danish tale “The Wild Swans”, by Hans Christian Andersen
Beautiful, beautiful tale that mixes well our current reality of poverty and growth of the cities and the mystic aura of the fairy tale.
As the author of this modern story, I also wondered where all that love for the princess brother would go after Andersen’s tale. It is sorry for the young (and then old) Maura, but it felt right to me, even with the sad almost-ending. But it finishes so beautifully that we even forgive the loose thread of the middle of the story, where Maura has some kind of relationship with some rich guy - is he one of the brothers? Did something really happened? How she felt about it?
This image portraits a much warmer beach than the one of the story, but this is me wanting a warmer scenery for the suffering family.
