Product Description
The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen have enchanted children and adults alike for over one hundred and fifty years. The stories featured in this beautifully illustrated version include old favourites such as 'Thumbelina' and 'The Snow Queen' as well as some less-known tales such as 'The Goblin at the Grocers's' and 'The Snowman'.
These tales show the many facets of Andersen's unique genius. By turns romantic and practical, sentimental and comic, straightforward and ironic, they can provide both an evening's entertainment and continued food for thought.
Neil Philip's sparkling translation of these much loved tales aims to capture Andersen's relaxed, conversational style, often lost in older literary versions. In this introduction, Philip considers Andersen's life and achievements and hails him as one of the greatest artists ever to write for children.
The eye-capturing illustrations by Isabelle Brent are embellished with gold, which brings a sense of glittering wonder to every page - a sense of wonder just right for contemplating Andersen's masterful stories.
