PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales, edited and illus. by Lisbeth Zwerger, trans. by Anthea Bell, originally published in 1991, includes three additional stories, and its new design matches Zwerger's Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. The 11 tales include the familiar ("The Little Match Girl") and the lesser-known ("The Sandman"). Zwerger's signature watercolors come alive in full-page illustrations elegantly and simply framed in a band of white. From grief-stricken Thumbeline leaning over the dead swallow to the self-deluded, nearly naked emperor admiring himself vainly in the mirror, the artwork conveys a range of emotions. ( May)
Customer Reviews
Andersen's Fairy Tales
This book is a waste of time. Yes, the fact that is free is nice but it doesn't even have any of the stories in it and for the time being it's stuck in my library. Do not get this book at all.
Worst book ever
This book is too short and doesn't have stories!
Don’t Bother
As all other comments state:
this is NOT a book.
6 pages of nonsense and links to download the audiobook.
It is pointless.
