Eventyret om den lille havfrue, som ofrer hele sit liv for den smukke prins. Men prinsen vælger en anden, og havfruen ender sine dage som skum på havet. Jørn Jensen, født 1946, børnebogsforfatter, uddannet guldsmed og lærer. Som ny lærer for de små klasser fandt han, at der var mangel på egnet læsemateriale til begynderlæsning, og det fik ham til selv at gå i gang med at skrive. Inspirationen henter han i sin egen barndom i 1950'erne, men også fra oplevelser med hans tre drenge danner grundlag for historierne. Jørn Jensen har fortolket og omskrevet en række af H.C. Andersens mest kendte eventyr til letlæseligt sprog. Genfortællinger af store forfatteres værker vækker altid debat: Må de overhovedet omskrives? Går den oprindelige ånd tabt? På den anden side kan en omskrivning af det ellers noget kringlede, gammeldags sprog til et mere læsevenligt dansk netop være anledningen til, at børn og unge kommer i gang med at læse de klassiske fortællinger. Og måske senere får mod på at læse de originale fortællinger.

Ah! yes, that was little Tuk: in reality his name was not Tuk, but that was what he called himself before he could speak plain: he meant it for Charles, and it is all well enough if one does but know it. He had now to take care of his little sister Augusta, who was much younger than himself, and he was, besides, to learn his lesson at the same time; but these two things would not do together at all. There sat the poor little fellow, with his sister on his lap, and he sang to her all the songs he knew; and he glanced the while from time to time into the geography-book that lay open before him. By the next morning he was to have learnt all the towns in Zealand by heart, and to know about them all that is possible to be known...
