Overview

Hans Christian Anderson is the ultimate author of the literary fairy-tale. His utterly original stories avoid the moral didacticism and Disney-esque saccharine that fairy tales are often associated with. Instead their beauty, tragedy and strangeness have captivated the imagination of readers, both young and old. This wonderful cloth-bound treasury contains 35 of his best-known tales, including 'The Snow Queen', 'The Emperor's New Suit' and 'The Red Shoes'.
