What is No Kidding, Mermaids Are a Joke! The Story of the Little Mermaid, As Told by the Prince about?

The prince knows everyone blames him for breaking the Little Mermaid’s heart, but he insists there is more to the story. In this playful retelling, he explains what really happened when a mermaid, a royal ball and a mysterious promise crossed paths. Was he truly a heartless villain, or did he simply misunderstand the strange events around him? Told from the prince’s point of view, this humorous fractured fairy tale invites readers to question whose version of a familiar story they should believe.
