> But Andersen's story was itself a sanitized version of Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué's “Undine” Now I got curious. Wikipedia actually has a summary of each chapter of "Undine" [1], and it's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT both in style and plot from Andersen's version [2]. Basically the only similarity is that it is about a mermaid and a prince/knight, and the (potential) death of the prince/knight at the end. For it to be a "sanitized version", it should be MUCH closer. [1] https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undine_(Friedrich_de_la_Motte_Fouqué) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undine_(Friedrich_de_la_Motte_...
