The book's illustrations and design are unique, captivating, and unexpectedly haunting, appealing to adult fans of Benjamin Lacombe and the pop surrealist movement as well as a younger audience, especially with the upcoming nostalgia-fueled remake of Disney's The Little Mermaid.

    In addition to Hans Christian Andersen's classic story, the book also includes additional pages featuring Andersen's unrequited love letters to Edvard Collins and a postface by Lacombe with historical biography and context. In an essay, Lacombe explores LGBTQ themes in Hans Christian Andersen's life. Frustrated with the overly feminine depictions of the story's protagonist throughout history, Lacombe has created an androgynous mermaid to showcase the classic tale in a new light.
