About This Item
A delightful collection of Andersen's fairy tales which includes his biography. Filled with numerous woodcut illustrations. Copyright page states "1884". With gift inscription on first front flyleaf dated 1885.
The book overall is in good condition. Top of spine somewhat tattered, bottom with slit. Rear board looks like something dark was spilled on it.
Synopsis
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" and "The Ugly Duckling," to more subversive later tales such as "The Ice maiden" and "The Wood Nymph." A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with French flaps, rough front, and luxurious packaging
