The magical world of fairy tales is one that all children love to enter.
In this book, twelve stories by the famous Danish storyteller Hans
Christian Andersen are enchantingly retold for the enjoyment of children
today. Though originally the son of a poor shoemaker, the secret of
Andersen's success is that he wrote his stories as if he were telling
them to a child. Delightfully illustrated throughout with intricate and
imaginative drawings.
