About this ebook
This volume was intended as a sequel to Andersen’s 1864 Stories and Tales (see end pages of this book) and was aimed at slightly older children. This book of fairy tales and stories deals with more complex moral questions, without sacrificing Andersen’s characteristic imaginative and fantasy elements.
The series of sketches of varying lengths in this book arose from the Andersen’s experiences when as a youth he went to seek his fortune Copenhagen, in the capital of his native land; and the story entitled "Under the Willow Tree" is said likewise to have its foundation in fact.
Containing 45 stories and tales, it is Illustrated with 80 woodcuts done by the brothers Dalziel, from illustrations by Alfred Water Bayes.
Some of the stories in this volume are:
* What the Moon Saw
* The Story of the Year
* The Goblin and the Huckster
* In a Thousand Years
* The Bond of Friendship
* Jack the Dullard
* Under the Willow Tree
* The Beetle
* A Leaf from the Sky
* The Dumb Book; plus many, many more.
So, we invite you to download this ebook, find a comfy chair and settle in to be entertained for hours.

About the author
Hans Christian Andersen (1805 –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 express themes that transcend age and nationality. While the Grimm Brothers were republishing old and already known fairy tales, Andersen was authoring original works.
