Book Synopsis
The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen have enchanted children for over a hundred and fifty years. The twelve stories in this selection include old favourites such as The Nightingale, The Snow Queen, and the Ugly Duckling, as well as some lesser-known tales such as The Snowman, The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep, and The Shadow. These tales show many facets of Andersen's unique genius. By turns romantic and practical, sentimental and comic, straightforward and ironic, they are sure to captivate new and old readers alike. Neil Philip's sparkling translation aims to capture Andersen's relaxed, conversational style while Isabelle Brent's glowing gold pictures are full of rich, decorative detail.
