Sanna Annukka is familiar to many from her collaborations with Marimekko and her artwork for Keane's album, Under the Iron Sea. For her second book project, she illustrates Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tale, The Snow Queen.
Hans Christian Andersen was the profoundly imaginative writer and storyteller who revolutionized literature for children. He gave us the now standard versions of some traditional fairy tales - with an anarchic twist - but many of his most famous tales sprang directly from his imagination. The thirty stories here range from exuberant early works such as 'The Tinderbox' and 'The Emperor's New Clothes' through poignant masterpieces such as 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Little Match Girl' and 'The Ugly Duckling', to more subversive later tales such as 'The Ice Maiden' and 'The Dryad'. Uniquely inventive and vivacious in style and with deep insight into children's points of view, Andersen established a new genre in literature. This beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Hans Christian Andersen's Best Fairy Tales is the classic translation by Jean Hersholt and is illustrated by various artists, with an afterword by Ned Halley. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.
* As in The Ice Virgin, Andersen takes us into new territory - for an adult readership * The translator is a leading expert on Scandinavian literature The title story is one of Andersen's later narratives, combining the immediacy of the fairy tales with a complexity of construction as intricate as any in 19th-century fiction. Paul Binding is the first English translator to recognise this story's true nature, placing it beside The Ice Virgin (also in Angel Classics) at the summit of the classic European novella tradition. A Story from the Dunes narrates the life of the son of a high-born Spanish couple born literally out of shipwreck, who grows up to all intents and purposes Danish among the seafaring folk of the Jutland peninsula, knowing nothing of his origins, and whose adult life pursues a downward path until he attains, tragically, a state of grace. The shorter tales in this selection vary in mood, but all carry Andersen's characteristic whimsy, light but deadly serious: the social/political satire Everything in its Right Place, the mischievous What One Can Think Of, about a would-be writer who can't think of anything to write about, and one of Andersen's very last stories, the elegiac What Old Johanne Told.

The Little Mermaid is one of the most haunting love stories ever written. Its author, Hans Christian Andersen, is a master storyteller whose tales have withstood the test of time and have been shared across borders and languages. In this sparkling anthology 17 of his creations are enchantingly retold for children today by Neil Philip. Many of his most popular tales are here: The Tinderbox, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and The Little Match Girl. Read about Little Ida who dared to dance at night with the flowers, the young prince who searched for a mysterious bell deep in the forest, and the very vain emperor who was cruelly tricked by wicked thieves. There are also some less-well known stories that will delight a new generation of children including Five Peas from the Same Pod, The Goblin at the Grocer's, The Flying Trunk and The Beetle. Delightfully illustrated with Isabelle Brent's magical watercolours, lavishly embellished with gold decorations. Originally the son of a poor shoemaker, the secret of Andersen's success is that he wrote his stories as if he were telling them to a child. None of the original magic has been lost in this joyful new edition, ideal to read aloud or for older readers to enjoy discovering by themselves.
There are stories for children, and there are for adults. But it is no exaggeration to say that the stories of the great writer Hans Christian Andersen are equally loved by both children and adults. We all know "e;Thumbelina"e;, "e;The Ugly Duckling"e;, "e;The Fire"e;, "e;The Little Mermaid"e;, "e;The Snow Queen"e;, "e;The Princess on the Pea"e;. The best works of the famous storyteller you will find in this book.
It is said that the famous Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen did not like it when he was called a children's storyteller. He claimed to write fairy tales for both children and adults. And it is true. His kind, intelligent and soulful works like, perhaps, everything - from small to large. Well, how can Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale "e;The Snow Queen"e; not like it?
A semi-autobiographical novel inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's travels in Italy-and one of the author's best-known works in his native Denmark Published to great acclaim in 1835, Hans Christian Andersen's debut novel, The Improvisatore, initially eclipsed his fairy tales, which first appeared in the same year. Andersen, the captivating teller of enchanted tales, is very much in evidence in this classic Bildungsroman inspired by his travels in Italy earlier in the decade. The novel's hero, Antonio-much like Andersen himself-rises from impoverished beginnings to become a successful artist, at every turn learning charming and often alarming lessons in the ways of the world. Adopted by a nobleman, smitten with an opera singer, challenged to a duel, captured by bandits, beset by a temptress, Antonio follows a dizzying itinerary on his path to enlightenment and, perhaps, happiness. Along the way he experiences the delights of Italian culture and nature so clearly and deeply absorbed by his peripatetic author-from the inescapable power of some of the world's most enduring paintings and sculptures to the drama of an erupting Mount Vesuvius and the rampages of wild buffalo on the Roman campagna, all in the shadow of classical mythology and in the company of characters from every level of Italian society: beggar, brigand, priest, and poet. This first English translation since the 1840s captures the brilliance and brio, the sweep and the nuance that made The Improvisatore one of Hans Christian Andersen's most widely read and best loved works.

LET us now go to Switzerland, and see its wonderful mountains, whose steep, rocky sides are covered with trees. We will climb up to the fields of snow, and then make our way down to the grassy valleys, with their countless streams and rivulets, impetuously rushing to lose themselves in the sea. The sunshine is hot in the narrow valley; the snow becomes firm and solid, and in the course of time it either descends as an avalanche, or creeps along as a glacier. THERE are two of these glaciers in the valleys below the Schreckhorn and the Wetterhorn, near the long village of Grindelwald. They are a remarka-ble sight, and therefore many travelers from all countries come in the summer to visit them: they come over the high mountains covered with snow, they traverse the deep valleys; and to do this they must climb, hour after hour, leaving the valley far beneath them, till they see it as if they were in an air-balloon. The clouds hang above them like thick mists over the mountains, and the sun's rays make their way through the openings between the clouds to where the brown houses lie spread, lighting up some chance spot with a vivid green. Below, the stream foams and blusters; but above it murmurs and ripples, and looks like a band of silver hanging down the side of the rock. On either side of the path up the mountain lie wooden houses. Each house has its little plot of potatoes; and this they all require, for there are many children, and they all have good appetites. The children come out to meet every stranger, whether walking or riding, and ask him to buy their carved wooden chalets, made like the houses they live in. Be it fine or be it wet, the children try to sell their carvings. About twenty years since you might have seen one little boy standing apart from the others, but evidently very desirous to dispose of his wares. He looked grave and sad, and held his little tray tightly with both hands as if he was afraid of losing it. This serious look and his small size caused him to be much noticed by travelers, who often called him and purchased many of his toys, though he did not know why he was so favored. His grandfather lived two miles off among the mountains, where he did his carving. He had a cabinet full of the things he had made. There were nut-crackers, knives and forks, boxes carved with leaves and chamois, and many toys for children; but little Rudy cared for nothing so much as for an old gun, hanging from a rafter in the ceiling, for his grandfather had told him it should be his own when he was big enough to know how to use it.
From a story by Hans Christian AndersenIn ancient China, young emperor Wu is kept a virtual prisoner in his palace by his devious guardian, Li Si. Wu believes the world outside the Forbidden City is an evil and dangerous place. But when Xiao, a young servant girl, tells him of the most beautiful sound on earth - the song of the nightingale - it's too much to resist. The two embark on an adventure that will take them across mountain tops and waterfalls, past chattering monkeys and magical dragons to the far reaches of his kingdom. When Wu returns with the nightingale, and starts to overturn the old palace customs, Li Si plots to restore things to the way they were before.Featuring puppetry, music and all the colour, movement and spectacle of Chinese theatre, this joyful adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale is a feast for the senses that will delight the whole family.Suitable for ages 6+
"e;100 masterpieces of love"e; - a unique series of the publishing house Strelbitsky, which included the best works of all time and people about the most beautiful and exalted feeling - love. "e;The Little Mermaid"e; is a lyrical fairy tale by the world-famous fairy tale virtuoso Hans Christian Andersen. A well-known tragic story tells of a sincere and noble Mermaid, who falls in love with the prince without memory. But they live in completely different worlds, and the price of the human soul for the Little Mermaid is too high.
Brought to life by Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham and an ensemble cast of narrators, and featuring original music by Michael Bacon, this collection contains Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved fairy tales, as well as a selection of lesser-known favorites. Unlike the Brothers Grimm, who collected and retold folklore and fairy tales, Hans Christian Andersen adopted the most ancient literary forms and distilled them into a genre that was uniquely his own. His fairy tales are remarkable for their sense of fantasy, power of description, and vivid imagination. They are like no others written before or since. Recognizing the literary merit of Andersen's own simple colloquial language, Erik Haugaard has remained faithful to the original text in the translation from Danish to English. Listeners will rediscover Hans Christian Andersen's best-known fairy tales, and find new favorites.

A wonderful collection of Hans Christian Andersens Fairy Tales illustrated in black and white by Honor Appleton. Contents include, The Little Mermaid, The Little Match Girl, The Snow Queen, The Red Shoes, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and many others. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive.

A collection of nineteen of Hans Christian Andersen's most famous short stories, first published in 1912. Stories include: 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Emperor's New Clothes', 'Little Thumb', and 'The Snow Queen', 'The Galoshes of Fortune', 'The Red Shoes', 'The Wild Swans' and others. Hans Christian Andersen (1805 - 1875) was a Danish poet and author celebrated for his children's stories but perhaps best known for his fables and fairy tales - meant for both adults and children. They were frequently written in a colloquial style, using idioms and spoke language in a manner previously unseen in Danish literature. Though simple at first glance, Hans Andersen Fairy Tales often convey sophisticated moral teachings, in equal measure heart-breaking and heart-warming. These tales are further enhanced by the wonderful watercolour illustrations of A. Duncan Carse - a lesser known though immensely accomplished artist and Golden Age illustrator. Andreas Duncan Carse (1876 - 1938) provided the illustrations for Lucy M. Scott's Dewdrops from Fairyland in 1912 but it was Carse's contributions to Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales that arguably solidified his reputation as an accomplished illustrator of children's books. Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's classics and fairy tales - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.

The Golden Age of Illustration Series, has sourced the rare original editions of these books and reproduced the beautiful art work to build a unique collection of illustrated fairy tales.
A collection of Hans Christian Andersen's best loved fairy tales is here illustrated with the magnificent Art Nouveau colour illustrations of Kay Nielsen. This was a project that took Nielsen 12 years to complete, and his illustrations perfectly capture the other-worldly spirit of the subject matter. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children. About the Author: Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish poet and author celebrated for his children's stories but perhaps best known for his immortal Fairy Tales meant for both adults and children and frequently written in a colloquial style to veil their sophisticated moral teachings. He broke new ground in terms of style and content by using idioms and constructions of spoken language in a way that had previously not been seen in Danish literature. His poetry and stories have been translated into over 150 languages, inspiring a wealth of films, plays and ballets. About the Illustrator: Kay Nielsen (1886-1957) was a Danish illustrator of the golden age of illustration. He was influenced by Japanese art and the Swedish fairy tale illustrator John Bauer and contributed to the Art Nouveau movement. His illustrations are bold, and vibrant - often reproduced by a 4-colour process which set him apart from his contemporaries who typically used a 3-colour process. His art is characterised by long, swooping lines, open spaces and a certain macabre quality and his ephemeral illustrations are intricately inventive, flirting with implausibility. The shift in taste from fantasy to realism after WWII meant that Nielsen did not retain his pre-war popularity. However, interest in his exquisite illustrations has since been revived, and they now command a high price in today's art world.
Andersens Roman aus dem Jahr 1837 erzahlt die bewegende Geschichte zweier unterschiedlicher Temperamente und Lebensentwurfe. Da ist zum einen der arme Schneidersohn Christian, der von einem ruhmreichen Leben als Musiker traumt, aufgrund seiner Herkunft aber am Ende nur ein unbedeutender Spielmann wird. Und da ist zum anderen die selbstbewusste Naomi, Christians leidenschaftliche Antipodin aus wohlhabendem Haus, in die Christian hoffnungslos verliebt ist, die ihr eigenes Gluck aber in der Welt von Adel und Libertinage zu finden hofft. Dem wechselhaften Schicksal beider Figuren folgt der Roman von Kopenhagen bis Rom, von Wien bis Paris und entfaltet dabei ein detailliertes Bild seiner Zeit. Eindrucksvoll zeigt die Neuubersetzung dieses Romans, dass Hans Christian Andersen nicht nur ein meisterhafter Marchenerzahler, sondern auch ein bedeutender Romanautor ist, der weltlaufiges Erzahlen mit bitterer Sozialkritik verbindet.
Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales are like exquisite jewels, drawing from us gasps of recognition and delight. Andersen created intriguing and unique characters -- a tin soldier with only one leg but a big heart, a beetle nestled deep in a horse's mane but harboring high aspirations. Each one of us at some time, has been touched by one of Andersen's Fairy Tales.

This book contains the complete Andersen's 168 fairy tales and stories in the chronological order of their original publication. Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales, a literary genre he so mastered that he himself has become as mythical as the tales he wrote. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories-called eventyrs, or "e;fantastic tales"e;-express themes that transcend age and nationality. During his lifetime he was acclaimed for having delighted children worldwide and was feted by royalty. 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. They have inspired motion pictures, plays, ballets, and animated films.

Some of them are old familiar friends, while others maybe new to some readers, but all of them equally enchanting and enthralling. Today, these stories are known almost everywhere in the world and have been translated into hundreds of languages. Their appeal is not just for children or young readers. As folktales and typical Scandinavian legends, they are a fascinating glimpse into the myths and legends, culture and ethos of the Northern Lands. Since their publication in 1835, they have continued to inspire and delight generations of children and adults.Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author whose work included plays, poetry, travelogues, novels and stories. Born in a noble Danish family, he was inspired to transcribe the tales he had heard as a child from people around him. The stories he selected were interesting, imaginative and unique. Some of them like The Little Mermaid were poignant and were not strictly just for a young audience. In fact, the story went on to capture public imagination to such an extent that today one of the most iconic monuments of Copenhagen is the statue of the Little Mermaid on the Langeline Promenade, which draws thousands of visitors every year.

Diese Sammlung wurde mit einem funktionalen Layout erstellt und sorgfaltig formatiert. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) ist der bekannteste Dichter und Schriftsteller Dnemarks. Berhmt wurde er durch seine zahlreichen Mrchen. Angeregt wurde er durch die Brder Grimm und die deutschen Kunstmrchen. Zunchst ist in seinen Mrchen noch eine deutliche Anlehnung an das Volkstmliche zu erkennen, doch schon bald entwickelte er seinen eigenen, unverwechselbaren Stil. Im Gegensatz zu den Volksmrchen, die grundstzlich an einem unbestimmten Ort spielen, beschrieb er sorgfltig den Schauplatz seiner Geschichten und achtete auf die Nhe zur kindlichen Weltauffassung. Seine Erzhlungen weisen eine einfache und ungeknstelte Sprache auf und wirken durch einen eindringlichen Erzhlton. Es ging ihm darum, das Wunderbare in die Wirklichkeit des Alltags hineinzuholen, ohne dass eine Kluft zwischen beidem entsteht, wie es bei den Romantikern oft der Fall war. In Dnemark wie in Deutschland sah man in Andersens Erzhlungen in erster Linie Mrchen fr Kinder. Das allerdings widersprach seinem eigenen Selbstverstndnis, denn er selbst verstand sich als Autor fr alle Altersklassen. Inhalt: Die kleine SeejungfrauOle Lukje (Der Sandmann)Die KrteDie Geschichte von einer MutterZwei BrderDas hssliche EntleinDer SchneemannDer standhafte ZinnsoldatSuppe auf einem WurstspeilerDie Prinzessin auf der ErbseDer MarionettenspielerDer fliegende KofferDer alte GrabsteinDer Garten des ParadiesesDie SchneekniginDes Kaisers neue KleiderDer SchweinehirtDie Blumen der kleinen IdaDer ReisekameradDie wilden SchwneDer TannenbaumDer silberne SchillingDer Kleine TukDumelinchenDer groe Klaus und der Kleine KlausDie NachtigallDas Kleine Mdchen mit den SchwefelhlzchenDie roten SchuheDer SchattenDie lieblichste Rose der WeltDer GoldschatzDie Windmhleund mehr ...

Hans Christian Andersen was a master of other literary forms besides the fairy story - in particular, the novella for an adult readership. The Ice Virgin (1862) is the most ambitious and searching of all his narratives. Its subject is Switzerland, which Andersen saw as a paradigm of the human condition. The relationship between a gifted young climber-hunter from the remote Bernese Oberland and a prosperous miller's daughter from a comfortable French-speaking canton plays out themes such as instinct versus reason, daring versus security, the role of early experience in shaping identity. In the terrifying Ice Virgin and her eerie minions, with their implacable hatred of humankind, we have a glimpse of the fairy tale Andersen. But this is a thoroughly absorbing story of the real world. In his Afterword Paul Binding situates The Ice Virgin in its author's life and work and explains why he places this novella in the first rank of world literature.

At the Hans Christian Andersen Museum in Odense the writer's trunk is on display. It is worn and dusty, for Andersen loved to travel and was often off on some journey. Everywhere he came, he stud-ied people and collected impressions that he later transformed into characters and places in his immor-tal fairy-tales. And, unlike the trunk, his fairy-tales never wear out, but remain as relevant and gripping today as they were 150 years ago. In this book we have collected 15 of Andersen's short tales, some of which are extremely well-known, others less so. What the tales all share is that apart from telling a particular story they also describe people's thoughts, actions and dreams. Each of the fairy-tales is provided with a commentary from a researcher at the Hans Christian Andersen Centre, University of Southern Denmark, as well as a brand-new illustration.

And when she gets there, how will she melt the ice in his heart?

Ki ne ismerne a rut kiskacsa tortenetet, vagy a rendithetetlen olomkatona kalandos utjat?
