The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen published by Taschen
The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen presents a richly illustrated selection of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales with historical artwork and editorial context that gives the stories a visual history as well as a literary one.
“What persuades me is that a good fairy-tale book becomes part of family memory through repetition, and the illustrations give each return visit something new to notice. The pleasure lies in discovering more each time it is opened.”
-Mrs. Mayfair
