I'll go ahead and tackle the rest just to complete the preservation of the series.

Aye, I was aware of the other books, didn't go hunting for the others mainly out of cost and at the time feeling I should tackle them one at the time, however that bundle you linked me is rather tempting to try and nab anyway. Perhaps in the future after tackling "Den lille Havfrue"

Aye, well, here's hoping I find someone eventually. I guess what I can do in the meantime is do what I can and post my result. I always intended for this pdf to have both the original Danish from the book as well as the English Translation, so if I make any errors, someone can contact me and I

That being said, thank you for your suggestions, they do help give me some ideas on how to proceed with translating "Den lille Havfrue: Facsimile og Tekst"!

Hi, thanks for contacting me here! I do have a Reddit and Tumblr account already, so those won't be too much of an issue, though as you can see with my Bluesky I don't do a lot of communicating on social media (most of my communications happen via Discord and the server I run there).
