Trying to find a copy of this book and finding it impossible! My sister used to read to me from it when I was a kid. I borrowed her copy, but would love my own!

@Cathythoughts What a coincidence! I just asked you about your visit to Copenhagen, and look what came up in this tale?! 😎

Cathythoughts Coincidence 💫💫💫... Copenhagen was full of lovely people & buildings & cobble stone streets & candles 🕯... it was wonderful, we are definitely going back some day 👍🏻❤️ 5y
Tanisha_A @Cathythoughts Your description makes me want to visit it right away. 💙 5y

1. Fairy Tales of Andersen (older one's than tagged book). I loved them as a child. I have these huge books of him, given by my baby sitter that I really loved (got tons of Dutch children and teen books from her).
2. Toy Story!
3. Beautiful Liar. I had to do dance to this when I was forced to participate in the musical by the end of primary school (it's customary here). One of my strongest memories about a song!
4. Someone who didn't do this.

Just got this guy about a month ago. It's probably the oldest and most beaten book I own. A couple of the pages are falling out lol

#crimesagainstcovers #day1 @ErinSueG

Erinsuereads Poor thing!!! What a lovely book it probably was in its day though! 6y
night_shift @ErinSueG yes! It still has all its pages, fortunately, and on the inside front cover it says 'from Glasgow' in cursive, which I think is kinda cool. 6y
Erinsuereads Oh super cool!!! 6y

Just sharing some unique illustrations from this old edition of Andersen‘s fairytales I have. They‘re by Arthur Szyk. @Linsy

Howseldomtheydo We had that book when I was a little girl. The one on the bottom left was my favorite but it did give me nightmares! 6y
hgrimes @Howseldomtheydo I‘m glad I could share with you! Some of the illustrations are very strange and a bit twisted looking! 6y
SilversReviews Beautiful illustrations...thanks for sharing. 6y

DebinHawaii Yay! We are book twins! The illustrations are very cool and yes, twisted.😜 6y
hgrimes @DebinHawaii I wikipediaed him this evening and apparently he‘s kind of a big deal! He‘s famous for his political illustrations during WWII. Pretty interesting biography! 6y
DebinHawaii @hgrimes Interesting! I'll have to go take a look.👍 6y
Linsy Oh my goodness, I‘m in heaven! 6y

When I saw this charm it reminded me of all the fairytales I read growing up. I had to make something out of it.

#uncannyoctober day 3: #fablesandfolklore
I bought this collection of Hans Christian Andersen's tales ages ago at a library sale and it's for this great (well, if you can unsee that "Mandarin" on the right and that tree troll-like thing in the back) inside cover.

Colleenma So love this ❤️ 7y
diovival Wow! 7y
RealBooks4ever Cool! 😻 7y

✨My boyfriend gave me my birthday presents waaay early. But I'm glad he did because this annotated 150th anniversary of Alice is my LIFE. 😍
✨Also, this edition of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales goes wonderfully with my Grimm Brother's edition. 📚💜
✨I had noooo idea I was getting these and they're definitely the best gift I've ever got. 😭😄💜

rubyslippersreads 😍😍😍 (And 😻😻😻!) 7y
TheBookStacker I just bough that little Cheshire Cat pop funko for my moms desk at school. 7y

mom2bugnbee I need details about that Alice in Wonderland, please. My 12yo loves Alice & she would love this edition! Publisher? Thanks! 7y
abbsinwonderland @mom2bugnbee this edition is pretty grim...I don't believe I'd let my children read it or see it's artwork. Just my opinion, but totally up to you of course. The publisher is Norton & Company, Inc I believe. Otherwise you can just look up "150th anniversary deluxe edition Alice by Lewis Carroll" edited by Martin Gardner and expanded by Mark Burstein. 7y
abbsinwonderland @mom2bugnbee publisher is actually W. W. Norton and Company 7y
mom2bugnbee @abbsinwonderland I'll take a look! Thanks for the insight! 7y
abbsinwonderland @mom2bugnbee if you're fine with the illustrations, it is a great edition. :) Just thought I'd give you a little warning before you spent the money! 7y
mom2bugnbee @abbsinwonderland I appreciate that! I'll definitely look carefully before purchasing. 7y
Jinjer I need Cheshire Cat!!! 7y
