The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen have inspired, frightened, and amused readers since they were first published in 1835.

The power of his tales to charm and elevate runs like a living thread through whatever he writes. Only a few children's authors will be ranked among the Immortals, and Hans Andersen is without a doubt one of them.

The collection includes the well-known fairy tales "Little Thumbelina", "The Ugly Duckling", "Little Tuk", "The fir tree", "Little Ida's flowers", "Sunshine stories", "The Darning-needle", "The little match girl", "The loving pair", so beloved by children and their parents.
