'There sat the dog with eyes as big as mill wheels' Though criticised for their anarchic immorality when first published, Hans Christian Andersen's tales made him an international star, taken to the hearts of children and adults for their beauty, sorrow and strangeness. Included here are 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier' and 'Big Klaus and Little Klaus'.
Le Gallienne and Sendak have taken seven of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved stories and given them new life and flavor with fresh, sensitive translations and beautiful illustrations.
This book contains the complete Andersen's fairy tales and stories in audiobook and hardcopy format. Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales, a literary genre he so mastered that he himself has become as mythical as the tales he wrote. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories - called eventyrs, or "fantastic tales" - express themes that transcend age and nationality. During his lifetime he was acclaimed for having delighted children worldwide and was feted by royalty. Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature listeners/readers as well. They have inspired motion pictures, plays, ballets, and animated films. RUNNING TIME ⇒ 5hrs. and 59mins. Public Domain (P)2020 AL Studio

The most beautiful fairy tales by H.C. Andersen. The life of Hans Christian Andersen reads like a fairy tale itself—he counted Charles Dickens among his friends and admirers, and European princes valued his company. Through determination, talent, fortunate circumstances, and an overflowing imagination, he carved his name into world literature, rising from impoverished beginnings. A fairy tale realm without Andersen would be severely impoverished, lacking characters such as the Snow Queen, the Princess and the Pea, Thumbelina, and the Little Match Girl, as well as many inanimate objects that he brought to life: silver shillings and sewing needles, foremost among them his steadfast tin soldier. These motifs have inspired generations of artists. The best among them are found in this collection, featuring great names like Kay Nielsen and Arthur Rackham, the Swede Einar Nerman, and the Ukrainian avant-gardist Georgy Narbut, along with many others, including the eccentric Tom Seidmann-Freud, the legendary German silhouette artist Lotte Reiniger, and the Prague painter and designer Josef Palecek.
Diese Sammlung umfasst zahlreiche Märchen von Hans Christian Andersen, darunter Klassiker wie "Die kleine Meerjungfrau", "Die Prinzessin auf der Erbse" und "Das häßliche Entlein". Die Geschichten behandeln Themen wie Liebe, Verlust und das Streben nach Glück und sind reich an Fantasie und tiefgründigen Lehren.
