Hans Christian Andersen

This collection of over forty of Anderson's most popular stories includes "The Ugly Duckling", "The Red Shoes", and "The Little Match Girl."

Andersen's Fairy Tales

At a time when children's stories were formal, moral and didactic, Hans Christian Andersen revolutionized the genre, giving an anarchic twist to traditional folklore and creating a huge number of utterly original stories that sprang directly from his imagination. From the exuberant early stories such as 'The Emperor's New Clothes', though poignant masterpieces such as 'The Little Mermaid' and 'The Ugly Duckling', to the darker, more subversive later tales written for adults, the stories included here are endlessly experimental, both humorous and irreverent, sorrowful and strange. This book will bring these magical tales to life for readers of any age.

I obviously enjoyed some fairytales more than others but will give this collection an overall rating of 3.75 stars because I really enjoyed some of the stories. Especially the Little Mermaid, the Red Shoes and the Little Match Girl, which by themselves would deserve 5 star ratings. While other stories were just about ok. Which then results in an overalll rating just below 4 stars.

More than 150 tales from Hans Christian Andersen, including such classics as "Thumbelina," "The Snow Queen," and "The Ugly Duckling," are collected for this beautifully illustrated volume.
