HANS ANDERSEN'S FAIRY TALES

Suitable either for reading aloud or independently, this excellent new collection from the pen of the master story teller is filled with the characters children have come to know and love -- Thumbelina, the Snow Queen, the Ugly Duckling, the unclothed Emperor, the sensitive Princess and many others. Despite the attention movie makers, cartoonists and picture book authors have given to these stories, there are those who will delight in reading them as they were originally written -- to see these story book favorites through the eyes of their original creator.
