Synopsis
This collection gathers Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales and stories written from 1835 onward. Familiar pieces include a mermaid who bargains for a human soul, a duckling shunned for its looks, a girl in a snow queen's palace, an emperor fooled by invisible cloth, and a tin soldier who loves a paper dancer. Other tales are harsher: a match girl, a red shoes punishment, a fir tree that regrets its life. Toys, flowers, and poor children are frequent speakers. There is no frame story. The book is a body of literary fairy tales, not a novel and not folk transcriptions only.
