Famous in the last few centuries, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" (1836), the work has been translated into over 100 languages. Mermaids (devised by Andersen) are similar to German fairy tales that can only obtain immortal souls by undine, marrying people. Andersen's heroine influenced the bronze sculpture at the port of Copenhagen and influenced Western literature such as Oscar Wilde's fisherman and his soul, and H. G. Wells Sea. Sue Monk Kidd wrote a book called The Mermaid Chair based on the legend of Saint Senara and Zennor's mermaid.
