Synopsis

A tale of bravery, betrayal, and true love, The Golden Mermaid follows the youngest son of a powerful king as he sets out to uncover the thief of his father's golden apples. Mocked as the “foolish” son, he wins the help of a magical wolf and embarks on a journey across kingdoms, facing enchanted birds, golden horses, and a mysterious mermaid who may hold the key to his destiny. Through acts of kindness and courage, he overcomes deadly trials, betrayal by his own brothers, and even death itself in a richly woven fairy tale filled with magic, romance, and redemption. Narrated with warmth and wonder by Veronica Saretsky, this classic adventure from Andrew Lang’s The Yellow Fairy Book is a timeless journey into the heart of heroism.
