Fairy Tales | Hans Christian Andersen
9 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition of Hans Christian Andersen's famous tales, from award-winning translator Tiina Nunnally Hans Christian Andersen was the profoundly imaginative writer and storyteller who revolutionized literature for children. He gave us the now standard versions of some traditional fairy tales--with an anarchic twist--but many of his most famous tales sprang directly from his imagination. The thirty stories here range from exuberant early works such as "The Tinderbox" and "The Emperor's New Clothes" through poignant masterpieces such as "The Little Mermaid" and "The Ugly Duckling" to more subversive later tales such as "The Ice Maiden" and "The Wood Nymph." For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Before diving into the original Snow Queen I decided to revisit the version I grew up with. My grandparents gave me this book of Hans Christian Andersen tales with amazing illustrations. It‘s not in the Litsy database, but it‘s by Unicorn Press. It took me a while to track down a copy as an adult, but it‘s one of those things that haunted my imagination so I was thrilled when I finally found it about 5 years ago! #ChildrensClassicRead2022

Cazxxx What a beautiful copy 😍 1y

Chrissyreadit Sent to @wanderinglynn @Charityann @Readergrrl - let me know that you received. Lynn I think I gave Jessi a heart attack- I forgot to tell her you are on base and not considered overseas shipping prices 🙃 3y
wanderinglynn 😆 Sorry for the brief heart attack @Endowarrior21 - you will have to fill out a customs form, but USPS regular US rates get to military bases. 😉 3y
wanderinglynn @Chrissyreadit I got your email! 😘 3y
Readergrrl I sent a reply email, but I‘m posting here too. Very glad to be a part of your swap. Thank you! 3y

We took the boys to the Lego store so they would have new sets to build today since we are under a heat warning and they needed something to beat cabin fever. With their purchase we got this set for free!

KJHowe That is beyond cool! 6y

I did it. I ordered my first #Fairyloot box. I splurged. I shouldn't late night shop but I'm my defense it said if you love LOTR then you'd love this months box. And I love LOTR. #imayhaveabookaddiction #plusitsfromEngland #couldntsayno

Daisey Now I really want to go look at this! 7y
booksandmunches Made me curious. And then.. Made me order the box as well! 😁 7y
EmilyChristine @Nomo Right?! I heard about it and heard that it gets sold out fast so when I saw it was available for May, I had to get it! So excited! 7y
EmilyChristine @Daisey Go look! It gets sold out quickly. 7y
