Hans Christian Andersen was the profoundly imaginative writer and storyteller who revolutionized literature for children.
He gave us the now standard versions of some traditional fairy tales - with an anarchic twist - but many of his most famous tales sprang directly from his imagination.
The thirty stories here range from exuberant early works such as The Tinderbox and The Emperors New Clothes through poignant masterpieces such as The Little Mermaid, The Little Match Girl and The Ugly Duckling, to more subversive later tales such as The Ice Maiden and The Dryad.
Uniquely inventive and vivacious in style and with deep insight into childrens points of view, Andersen established a new genre in literature.
This beautiful Macmillan Collectors Library edition of Hans Christian Andersens Best Fairy Tales is the classic translation by Jean Hersholt and is illustrated by various artists, with an afterword by Ned Halley.
Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collectors Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles.
Macmillan Collectors Library are books to love and treasure.
