A new translation with introduction and notes by Naomi Lewis | Illustrated by Philip Gough | Puffin Classics

This enchanting collection, retold by writer and critic Naomi Lewis, contains twelve of Hans Christian Andersen`s magnificent stories. It includes Thumbelina, a little girl no more than a thumb-joint high, `The Emperor`s New Clothes`, the tale of a man who cares only for his appearance and The Little Mermaid, who longs to one day marry a human prince.

Hans Christian Andersen`s fairy tales are like exquisite jewels, drawing from us gasps of recognition and delight. Writing in the midst of a Europe-wide rebirth of national literature, Anderson broke new ground with his fairy tales in two important ways. First, he composed them in the vernacular, mimicking the language he used in telling them to children aloud. Second, he set his tales in his own land and time, giving rise to his loving descriptions of the Danish countryside. In contrast to such folklorists as the Brothers Grimm, Anderson’s tales are grounded in the real and often focus on the significance of small or overlooked things.
