"To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence
to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg."
Hans Christian Andersen's "The Ugly Duckling" ranks among the
most beloved and enduring stories in all of children's
literature.
This edition combines the world-famous translation of H.B. Paull
with two sets of classic illustrations, the engravings of Vilhelm
Pedersen from the original Danish edition and Helen Stratton's
illustrations from "The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen."
Both sets provide a beautiful and dramatic visual compliment to
this simple but unforgettable story of the difficult transition
from childhood to maturity.
Also included are vocabulary notes with pronunciations and
definitions of some words that may be unfamiliar to grade school
readers.
