A wonderful collection of 11 of Hans Christian Andersen's most
well-loved fairy tales illustrated by the charming colour plates
and black and white line drawings of Anne Anderson. Stories
Include: The Drop of Water; The Tinder Box; The Ugly Duckling; The
Little Match-Girl; The Garden of Paradise; Little Tuk; The Little
Mermaid; The Nightingale; The Marsh King's Daughter; Mother Elder;
and The Daisy. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly
those dating back to the 1850s and before, are now extremely scarce
and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish
these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions,
using the original text and artwork so these works can delight
another generation of children. About the Author: Hans Christian
Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish poet and author celebrated for
his children's stories but perhaps best known for his immortal
Fairy Tales meant for both adults and children and frequently
written in a colloquial style to veil their sophisticated moral
teachings. He broke new ground in terms of style and content by
using idioms and constructions of spoken language in a way that had
previously not been seen in Danish literature. His poetry and
stories have been translated into over 150 languages, inspiring a
wealth of films, plays and ballets. About the Illustrator: Anne
Anderson (1874-c.1940) was a Scottish illustrator chiefly noted for
her Art Nouveau children's book illustrations that display fluidity
typical of the movement. Characteristic of her work are decorative
and lightly drawn or painted illustrations of neatly dressed
children, neatly dressed with pear-shaped faces. Anderson's work
has been compared to that of Jessie M. King, a contemporary.
