About this ebook
Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories, called "fairy-tales" in English, express themes that transcend age and nationality.
Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include "The Little Mermaid", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Nightingale", "The Emperor's New Clothes" and many more.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book and its companion by the Brothers Grimm has been on our family bookshelves probably since 1945. The book itself is a work of art: from its binding, to its type font, to the one color illustrations, to the full color sheets including those inside the front and back covers. The stories themselves however, are far from beautiful. Most images created by the idyllic and poetic descriptions are mutilated by gruesome events that would make Stephen King cringe. While the storks are bringing babies to the good people they also deliver a little dead baby to the boy who tormented them when he was young. The little girl with the enchanted red shoes goes to the executioner to have her feet cut off so that she won’t keep on dancing. Another little girl sank into a bog and had adventures in Bogeyland that would terrify Alice. When you add in the effect of the age of the stories, the translation, and the sense that the stories jump suddenly as if Anderson were telling them to you at bedtime, it is a very strange volume.
