A new selection of 30 tales to mark the 200 year anniversary of
Andersen's birth in 2005. Tiina Nunnally's sparkling translation
captures the rawness and immediacy of Andersen's style, for the
first time enabling English readers to be as startled and amazed as
his original readers were, and revealing the unique inventiveness
of Andersen's genius. At a time when children's stories were
formal, moral and didactic, Hans Christian Andersen revolutionized
the genre, giving an anarchic twist to traditional folklore and
creating a huge number of utterly original stories that sprang
directly from his imagination. From the exuberant early stories
such as 'The Emperor's New Clothes', though poignant masterpieces
such as 'The Little Mermaid' and 'The Ugly Duckling', to the
darker, more subversive later tales written for adults, the stories
included here are endlessly experimental, both humorous and
irreverent, sorrowful and strange. This book - beautifully
illustrated with a selection of Andersen's amazing paper cut-outs -
will bring these magical tales to life for readers of any age.
