Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen (Dream Classics) Kindle Edition

by Hans Christian Andersen (Author), Dream Classics (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 105 ratings
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 Emperor's New Clothes," "The Little Mermaid," "The Nightingale," "The Snow Queen," "The Ugly Duckling," and "Thumbelina." His stories have inspired ballets, plays, and animated and live-action films.

Hans Christian Andersen (/ˈhɑːnz ˈkrɪstʃən ˈændərsən/; Danish: [hanˀs kʰʁæsd̥jan ˈɑnɐsn̩] ( listen); often referred to in Scandinavia as H. C. Andersen; 2 April 1805 – 4 August 1875) was a Danish author. 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 eventyr in Danish or "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 Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling", and many more.

His stories have inspired ballets, both animated and live-action films, and plays.

    A very well thought out ebook, easy to navigate and easy to locate the story that you're after. Jam packed with Andersen's lovely fairy tales, all the favourites are here and are, of course, easy to read and just as charming as they always have been. The story of Ole-Luk-Oie, the Dream-God is here, which I've found is unusual in an Andersen collection, sadly. I've always known it as The Sandman and it's one of my favourites, if it's possible to narrow them down. Highly recommended and not just for children

    To have all the books an poems he wrote in one place is great. There were some I had never heard of even though I had read them to my children, and now to my grandchildren.

    Well worth getting if you are a fan.. There was illustrations too, which was nice.

    Page quality is horrible, the reproduction of Arthur Reckham’s illustrations is terrible and doesn’t do any justice to the quality of artwork. The font and scale another mess.
    Overall buy another descent version of this book from a good well reputed publisher. This is a terrible reproduction.

    A Dear Friend,Artist as well as Kay Nielsen said, "you have to see His Works".What a pure Delight.The Illustrations of Hans C.Andersen are Lovely. You may think of Director, Tim Burton immediately in his Animated Work. More Vertical than Horizontal.People are Taller than may Believe.Was the Primary Illustrator of 1001 Arabian Nights.If Found, can Afford, Scoop Up Immediately. His Works are Whimsy,Fun and Children will Delight.

    I love the quality of this book. When I was a child my mom bought me a lot of Hans Christian Andersen's books which were huge. I was searching for them on Amazon when I came across this. I bought it for my newborn daughter so she'd have it when she grows up. And I'm sure it'll last till she has children. And of course the book has a lovely collection of Hans Christian Andersen stories.
