Description
Hans Christian Andersen: Fairy Tales
A new selection of 30 tales to mark the 200 year anniversary of Andersen's birth in 1805, this collection includes stories such as 'Auntie Toothache', 'The Emperor's New Clothes' and 'The Little Mermaid'. Tiina Nunnally's sparkling translation captures the rawness and immediacy of Andersen's style.
These tales showcase Andersen's unique inventiveness, giving an anarchic twist to traditional folklore. From humorous and irreverent stories like 'Collar', to poignant masterpieces like 'The Ugly Duckling' and 'The Snow Queen', this book brings magical tales to life with beautifully illustrated paper cut-outs.
