Thumbelina, the Little Mermaid, the Snow Queen and the picture-painting Moon all belong to the same storytelling world, and this hardbound volume gathers those tales into one place. The telling keeps the strangeness and the sadness that made them last.
Individual stories are short enough for a bedtime reading yet layered enough to hold an adult's attention, which is how they reached audiences in well over a hundred languages and in adaptation after adaptation. Physically the edition is made as a keepsake, with gilded page edges, a ribbon marker and decorated endpapers.
Details that matter:
• Gilded edges, ribbon bookmark and illustrated endpapers
• Classic tales suited to reading aloud in short sittings
• Stories that carry humour and moral weight together
• Binding built for a shelf rather than a single read
A strong choice for families, collectors of illustrated classics and gift buyers looking for something lasting, available at Boipoka.
