Collection Of Stories From Hans Christian Andersen

Fairy tales that shaped the modern form appear here together in a deluxe hardcover volume. Collection of Stories from Hans Christian Andersen gathers the Danish author's best known tales, among them The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, The Snow Queen and The Emperor's New Clothes. Andersen wrote for children without writing down to them, which is why the same stories hold an adult audience: the endings are not always comfortable, and themes of kindness, honesty, courage and hope sit beside real loss. The premium binding and finishing make this a reading copy that also works as a permanent addition to a family shelf. Inside this volume: • Andersen's most widely read tales collected in one hardcover • Stories short enough for reading aloud in a single sitting • Writing that holds up for adults revisiting childhood favourites • Premium finishing intended for gifting and long term keeping Suited to families, fairy tale readers and collectors of classic editions, available at Boipoka.
