Publisher Description
This beautiful collection of Hans Christian Andersen’s 1932 fairy tale anthology is illustrated by the masterful Arthur Rackham.
Danish poet and author, Hans Christian Andersen always wrote fairy tales in his unique, colloquial style. His charming moral stories are full of love, friendship, and even tragic heartbreak as he paints beautiful scenes and characters in his reader’s mind. This 1932 collection of his stories features gorgeous full-colour plates and black-and-white illustrations from the Golden Age’s Arthur Rackham.
Some of the stories collated in this volume include:
The Ugly Duckling
The Snow Queen
The Steadfast Tin Soldier
The Emperor’s New Clothes
Thumbelina
The Princess and the Pea
The Little Match Girl
The Little Mermaid
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Gilded illustrations by Isabelle Brent add sparkle to Viking's Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Old favorites such as ``The Ugly Duckling'' and ``The Snow Queen'' are the mainstay of this 12-story collection, but older readers already familiar with Andersen may welcome the inclusion of such lesser known tales as ``The Snowman'' and ``Father's Always Right'' (, 144p, all ages Sept.).
