A mamma anatra nacquero sette anatroccolini! Tutti meravigliosi tranne uno… davvero brutto e spelacchiato. Il povero anatroccolo veniva sbeffeggiato da chiunque, tanto che decise di allontanarsi da tutti e ad andare a vivere da solo. Non poteva sopportare di essere chiamato "il brutto anatroccolo". Passò così, per il piccolo, un lungo freddo e triste inverno. Poi in primavera avvenne il miracolo... il brutto anatroccolo si era trasformato in un meraviglioso e regale cigno. Un'edizione meravigliosamente illustrata per una delle fiabe più belle di Andersen.

Il cielo profuma di neve, si accendono le luci sugli alberi della città. Arriva il periodo più bello dell'anno! Ma com'era il Natale quando al posto delle auto, c'erano le carrozze trainate dai cavalli? Com'era quando non c'erano i centri commerciali, ma le botteghe dei falegnami e i laboratori dei giocattolai? Com'era quando il pane si faceva in casa e invece del riscaldamento c'era la stufa a legna? Com'era quando tutta la famiglia si riuniva per il pranzo natalizio intorno alla tavola illuminata dalle candele e decorata con il vischio e le bacche di agrifoglio? Ce lo raccontano i grandi autori della letteratura, in questa raccolta di racconti e brani di romanzi storie straordinarie che sono ormai entrate a far parte della nostra tradizione natalizia. Età di da 8 anni.

Soldatini di stagno o pastorelle di porcellana, fiori o cicogne, lampioni in disarmo o case in demolizione, trottole o aghi da rammendo: non vi è oggetto, fiore, pianta o animale che nelle fiabe di Hans Christian Andersen non acquisti vita. Unico forse tra i grandi favolisti, Andersen accanto al mondo fiabesco della tradizione popolato di fate, maghi e principesse, ha creato infatti un suo mondo dove è la realtà quotidiana e consueta ad assumere dimensioni magiche, e tuttavia mai prive di un singolare realismo. Andersen trova piena espressione in un'ampia raccolta che riunisce più di ottanta fiabe, proposte in una nuova e moderna traduzione dal danese, efficacemente scelte in modo da presentare il grande narratore nei suoi numerosi aspetti.

A new collection of Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tales. There are 12 stories which include old favourites such as The Ugly Duckling, The Princess and the Pea and The Snow Queen, as well as some less well known tales such as The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep and The Shadow.
A new selection of 30 tales. At a time when children’s stories were formal, moral and didactic, Hans Christian Andersen revolutionized the genre, giving an anarchic twist to traditional folklore and creating a huge number of utterly original stories that sprang directly from his imagination. From the exuberant early stories such as ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, though poignant masterpieces such as ‘The Little Mermaid’ and ‘The Ugly Duckling’, to the darker, more subversive later tales written for adults, the stories included here are endlessly experimental, both humorous and irreverent, sorrowful and strange. This book – beautifully illustrated with a selection of Andersen’s amazing paper cut-outs - will bring these magical tales to life for readers of any age.

C'era una volta una principessa che si annoiava non sapendo come passare il tempo. Prese allora una palla d'oro, con la quale soleva spesso giocare, e si addentrò nel bosco fino a dove si trovava una sorgente d'acqua pura e fresca. Là si sedette e si divertiva a gettare la palla in alto e a riprenderla. Le accadde tuttavia di lanciarla molto in alto. Ella tendeva già le braccia per afferrarla, ma la palla ricadde al suolo e rotolò in acqua.
