Hans Christian Andersen´s fairy tales have entertained children and adults alike since he began publishing them in 1835.
Filled with a cavalcade of wonderful characters and enchanted objects - from elves and talking animals to bewitched shoes and toys - these magical stories contain messages that resonate beyond the realms of fantasy.
This delightful slipcased edition contains thirty-five of his best-known tales, including ´The Little Mermaid´, ´The Emperor´s New Suit´, ´The Ugly Duckling´, and ´The Princess and the Pea´, all beautifully illustrated with the charming drawings of Heath Robinson.
