Product Description
Product Description
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was born in Odense, the son of a shoemaker. His early life was wretched, but he was adopted by a patron and became a short-story writer, novelist and playwright, though he remains best-known for his magical fairy tales which were published between 1835 and 1872. For 150 years his stories have been delighting both adults and children. Packed with a light-hearted whimsy combined with a mature wisdom they are as entrancing as ever. Here are all of Andersen's 168 tales, and among the favourites are 'The Red Shoes', 'The Mermaid', 'The Real Princess', 'The Emperor's New Clothes', The Tinder Box' and of course 'The Ugly Duckling'.

This is a great book and good value BUT it is NOT a children's edition. (at least not for young children) What you see is what you get and I as an old guy with plenty of time I enjoyed the read. I was able to abbreviate some of the beautiful stories for a grandchild but I think a 14 year old could perhaps enjoy it better.

Really great book. All Andersen's fairy tales in one book, not only for children but also for adults. In this nice and unique collection you can find evergreens like "The Snow Queen", "Emperor's New Clothes", "Little Match Girl" and my favorite - "Hardy Tin Soldier". Book for everyone.
