Let one of the best-known children’s authors of all time carry you away into a magical world with his masterful storytelling.

They are readily accessible to children, but present lessons of virtue for mature readers as well! Rediscover your childhood's favourite fairy tales or introduce a young reader to Andersen's imagination – just in time for Christmas... Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

    Hans Christian Andersen was the profoundly imaginative writer and storyteller who revolutionized literature for children. He 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'. Uniquely inventive and vivacious in style and with deep insight into children's points of view, Andersen established a new genre in literature.This beautiful Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Hans Christian Andersen's Best Fairy Tales is the classic translation by Jean Hersholt and is illustrated by various artists, with an afterword by Ned Halley.Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles.

    Le jour de son anniversaire, un petit garçon reçut une boîte de 25 soldats de plomb. L'un d'entre eux était un peu différent des autres car il n'avait qu'une seule jambe. Les soldats furent rangés sur une table, où il y avait beaucoup d'autres jouets. Le soldat de plomb qui n'avait qu'une jambe remarqua parmi eux une danseuse, qui se tenait gracieusement sur une seule jambe, et la croyant unijambiste comme lui, il pensa que ce jouet lui ferait une femme merveilleuse. Le soir, quand les gens de la maison furent couchés, tous les jouets se mirent à faire la fête. Le vaillant soldat de plomb restait immobile et fixait des yeux la danseuse. Minuit sonna alors et un diable en boîte s'ouvrit, qui se mit à avertir le soldat de plomb de ne pas la regarder. Mais le soldat continua à regarder la danseuse...
