📖 Description
This book holds 18 of the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen’s most popular fairy tales. For 150 years his stories have been delighting both adults and children. Packed with a light-hearted whimsy combined with a mature wisdom they are as entrancing as ever.
Andersen put many pieces of his own life into his fairy tales. For example, he never forgot that his mother as a young girl had been forced to go begging. This led him to write “The Little Match Girl.†And his personal experiences are reflected in “The Ugly Duckling.â€
