Hans Christian Andersen, also spelled Anderson. One of the few but noteworthy downbeat Fairy Tales by the Danish master storyteller. It should be noted that the original Little Mermaid also ends tragically for the lead character, she dissolves into the water ahead of schedule. Normally, Mermaids were said to have a 300 year life span, three times the human maximum- then they effervesce- this explains the apparent lack of fossils- which is good science fictional thinking, Mr. Andersen. The unnamed Match Girl, down to earth, succumbed to the cold temperatures.
