Hans Christian Andersen is one of the worlds most popular storytellers, and his fairy tales are among the best-loved works of literature. Readers the world over know his poignant tale of ‚The Little Mermaid, ‚ who sacrifices everything for love, and ‚The Steadfast Tin Soldier, ‚ whose affection for a paper ballerina is symbolized by his transformation into a small tin heart. Several of Andersens stories are so well-known–among them ‚The Emperors New Clothes‘ and ‚The Ugly Duckling‘–that their titles alone have become meaningful figures of speech.
Hans Christian Andersen: Best-Loved Fairy Tales collects one hundred of Andersens incomparable fairy tales and stories, among them ‚Thumbelina, ‚ ‚The Little Match Girl, ‚ ‚The Princess and the Pea, ‚ ‚The Red Shoes, ‚ ‚The Wild Swans, ‚ and his fantasy masterpiece ‚The Snow-Queen.‘ This volume is beautifully illustrated with more than one hundred drawings by Dugald Stewart Walker and Hans Tegner, two of Andersens best-known illustrators.
