The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen

Autor Hans Christian Andersen
en Limba Engleză Hardback

It was Hans Christian Andersen who brought us the story of "The Little Mermaid," "The Ugly Duckling," "The Emperor's New Clothes," and other classic folk and fairy tales, legends and myths, such as the "The Princess and the Pea" and "Thumbelina." Since Andersen wrote in the 1800s, Hollywood has taken a crack at his stories and innumerable illustrated works for children have been written based on them. As is so often the case, the book is better than the movie. Andersen's original tales for children have appeal beyond the many abbreviated versions made since. In this edition, the reader is invited into the imagination of Hans Christian Andersen.

About the translator
Danish-born Jean Hersholt (1886–1956) was a Hollywood actor and radio star who dedicated years of his life to translating all of Andersen’s tales from the original Danish. His English translations were first published in 1942. He was also an avid collector of Andersen books, letters, and manuscripts, amassing the largest collection of Anderseniana in the United States, and eventually donating it to the Library of Congress, Washington, D. C.. Hersholt’s most famous acting roles were as Shirley Temple’s grandfather in the film Heidi (1937) and on the popular radio show Dr. Christian (1937–1954). The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award is presented at the Oscars.
