I got as much pleasure re-reading these lovely tales as you did reading them perhaps for the first time," writes Clifton Fadiman in his afterword.
The magic of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales is as irresistible to today's children as it was to the children who heard them long ago. In this new edition-the most complete available-are fifty-five of his best stories, including The Ugly Duckling, The Tinderbox, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, Thumbelina, The Princess and the Pea, The Nightingale, The Little Match Girl, The Red Shoes; three longer stories-The Snow Queen, The Ice Maiden, The Marsh King's Daughter; and many more memorable ones that have been delighting lovers of a good story for over a century.
Lawrence Beall Smith's paintings and drawings move with great sweep and color, encircling Andersen's special world with charm, warmth, and good humor.”
