Description: 'The Merman King had been for many years a widower, but his old mother kept house for him; she was a clever woman, but so proud of her noble birth that she wore twelve oysters on her tail, while other grandees were only allowed six.' An Edmund Dulac illustration scanned from my own copy of 'Stories From Hans Andersen', 1911.
Description: "I have hardly closed my eyes the whole night! Heaven knows what was in the bed. I seemed to be lying upon some hard thing, and my whole body is black and blue this morning. It is terrible!" An Edmund Dulac illustration scanned from my own copy of 'Stories From Hans Andersen', 1911.
