About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 99 full-page plates by Peder Severin Krøyer, Johan Edvard Bergh and Christen Købke. The tales that made a Danish poet the most translated writer of his century: the emperor's new clothes, the snow queen, the little match girl, the red shoes, the shadow, the fir tree. Andersen wrote them to be spoken aloud, and was hurt all his life that critics preferred his novels. There is no fairy-tale justice in them; the match girl freezes, the fir tree is burned, and the red shoes dance on without their owner. Ninety-nine plates of Nordic light and weather by painters including Peder Severin Krøyer and Carl Larsson, matching the northern air of Andersen's tales.
