Hans Christian Andersen was a profoundly imaginative writer and storyteller who gave us the now standard versions of some traditional fairy tales - with an anarchic twist - but many of his most famous tales sprang directly from his imagination. The thirty stories here range from exuberant early works such as «The Tinderbox» and «The Emperor\'s New Clothes» through poignant masterpieces such as «The Little Mermaid\', «The Little Match Girl» and «The Ugly Duckling», to more subversive later tales such as «The Ice Maiden» and «The Dryad».
