Fairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersen contains a collection of 38 classic fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen illustrated by the Robinson Brothers, Thomas, William Heath and Charles. Hans Christian Andersen (1805 â 1875) was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersenâs popularity is not limited to children; his stories, called eventyr in Danish or âfairy-talesâ in English, express themes that transcend age and nationality. Andersenâs fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the Westâs 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 âThe Emperorâs New Clothesâ, âThe Little Mermaidâ, âThe Nightingaleâ, âThe Snow Queenâ, âThe Ugly Ducklingâ, and many more.
