An Illustrated Treasury of Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales

The Hans Andersen Fairy Tales will be read in schools and homes as long as there are children who love to read. As a story-teller for children the author has no rival in power to enlist the imagination and carry it along natural, healthful lines. The power of his tales to charm and elevate runs like a living thread through whatever he writes. In the two books in which they are here presented they have met the tests and held an undiminishing popularity among the best children’s books. They are recognized as standards, and as juvenile writings come to be more carefully standardized, their place in permanent literature will grow wider and more secure. A few children’s authors will be ranked among the Immortals, and Hans Andersen is one of them.BOOK ONE: First SeriesTHE FIR TREE, LITTLE TUK, THE UGLY DUCKLING, LITTLE IDA’S FLOWERS, THE STEADFAST TIN SOLDIER, LITTLE THUMBELINA, SUNSHINE STORIES, THE DARNING-NEEDLE, THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL, THE LOVING PAIR, THE LEAPING MATCH, THE HAPPY FAMILY, THE GREENIES, OLE-LUK-OIE THE DREAM GOD, THE MONEY BOX , ELDER-TREE MOTHER, THE SNOW QUEEN, STORY THE FIRST, SECOND STORY, THIRD STORY, FOURTH STORY, FIFTH STORY, SIXTH STORY, SEVENTH STORY, THE ROSES AND THE SPARROWS, THE OLD HOUSE, THE CONCEITED APPLE BRANCH, NOTES, LITTLE TUK, LITTLE THUMBELINA, SUNSHINE STORIES, OLE-LUK-OIE, THE DREAM GOD, ELDER-TREE MOTHER,THE SNOW QUEEN.
