The Complete Tales

Hans Christian Andersen is the father of the modern fairytale. Through stories like "The Ugly Duckling," "The Little Mermaid," "The Princess on the Pea," "The Snow Queen," "The Nightingale" and "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," he is assured immortality, but these are only a small part of the Andersen canon. There are 156 tales in all, presented here in a gloriously illustrated new 2-volume edition published to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the author's birth. From the earliest days of their appearance, Hans Andersen's stories were irresistible to illustrators. For this new edition, the editors have selected from the best of these. 46 artists from around the world are represented including all the giants of the Golden Age -- Heath Robinson, Arthur Rackham, Mabel Lucie Attwell, Kay Nielsen and Edmund Dulac -- together with work from contemporary artists such as Charles van Sandwyk and Quentin Blake.
