"Tove Ditlevsen's autobiographical trilogy about her troubled life in Copenhagen"-- Provided by publisher

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.

"Un tempo avevo paura di rimanere in casa da sola, ma ora non più, perché Pippi è con me" ha scritto ad Astrid Lindgren una bambina giapponese. "Pippi Calzelunghe" è un libro conosciuto in tutto il mondo e tradotto in 54 lingue, di cui l'ultima dell'elenco è lo zulù. Anche voi troverete in Pippi una compagna forte, allegra, furba e ricchissima; vive sola a Villa Villacolle e non ha paura di niente: sta benissimo anche senza genitori, perché così nessuno le dice quando è ora di andare a letto o le insegna le buone maniere, che non servono a nulla se non si è veramente generosi. E Pippi, appunto, lo è. Leggete le sue avventure e vi sentirete, come lei, tanto forti da sollevare un cavallo. Età di lettura: da 7 anni.

A Norwegian tourist has been found murdered on the shore of Lake Superior--right where an Ojibwe man may have been killed more than one hundred years earlier. Four months later, the official investigation is supposedly over but still not resolved, and U.S. Forest Service officer Lance Hansen, drawn into the mystery by his grisly discovery of the body, is uncovering clues disturbingly close to home. His former father-in-law, Willy Dupree, may hold the key to the century-old murder of Swamper Caribou. And his own brother, Andy, might know more than he's telling--more than he should know--about the recent homicide. The relationship between the brothers takes a dangerous turn as their annual deer hunt becomes a deadly game. Steeped in the rich history of Lake Superior's rugged North Shore, this follow-up to the Riverton Prize-winning The Land of Dreams pursues two tales through a bleak and beautiful landscape haunted by the lives and dreams of its Scandinavian immigrants and Native Americans. Hansen finds himself equally haunted by the complex mysteries that continue to unravel around him.
