Hans Christian Andersen Books Overview

The Two Baronesses

In addition to the fairy tales for which he was so well known, Hans Christian Andersen published several novels including ‘The Two Baronesses‘ 1848, ‘Be or Not to Be’ 1857, and ‘Lucky Peter’ 1870. There is a good deal of autobiographical material in all of them. ‘The Two Baronesses,’ with ‘The Improvisatore’ perhaps the best of Andersen’s novels, owed some of its inspiration to the works of Sir Walter Scott, which Andersen greatly admired, and particularly to ‘The Heart of Midlothian,’ his favorite novel.

The Complete Fairy Tales and Stories

Translated by Erik Hougaard, this is the only version available in trade paperback that presents the fairy tales exactly as Andersen collected them in the original Danish edition in 1874. His notes accompany the text.

Stories from Hans Andersen

Collection of short stories and fairy tales from the Danish author and poet.

Fairy Tales

Fairy Tales, by Hans Christian Andersen, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences biographical, historical, and literary to enrich each reader’s understanding of these enduring works. Who has not laughed at the emperor’s new clothes, thrilled to the song of the nightingale, or sympathized with the ugly duckling? In the 170 years since they first began to appear, Hans Christian Andersen s Fairy Tales have entranced and bewitched millions of readers, adults and children alike. Writing in the midst of a Europe wide rebirth of national literature, Anderson broke new ground with his Fairy Tales in two important ways. First, he composed them in the vernacular, mimicking the language he used in telling them to children aloud. Second, he set his tales in his own land and time, giving rise to his loving descriptions of the Danish countryside. In contrast to such folklorists as the Brothers Grimm, Anderson s tales are grounded in the real and often focus on the significance of small or overlooked things. Here are all of Andersen s collected tales, many such as The Little Mermaid, The Red Shoes, and The Steadfast Tin Soldier still popular through modern adaptations, and others, including The Flying Trunk and The Most Incredible Thing, well worth rediscovering. Jack Zipes is professor of German and comparative literature at the University of Minnesota. A specialist in folklore and Fairy Tales, he has authored numerous books of criticism over the last thirty years and edited several major anthologies, including the Norton Anthology of Children s Literature 2005. Marte Hvam Hult holds a Ph.D. in Scandinavian languages and literatures from the University of Minnesota. She is the author of Framing a National Narrative: The Legend Collections of Peter Christen Asbj rnsen and a forthcoming translation of Asbj rnsen s Huldreeventyr.

Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales

This enchanting collection, retold by writer and critic Naomi Lewis, contains twelve of Hans Christian Andersen’s magnificent stories. It includes Thumbelina, a little girl no more than a thumb joint high, ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, the tale of a man who cares only for his appearance and The Little Mermaid, who longs to one day marry a human prince. It includes a wonderful cover illustration and new introduction by award winning picture book creator Jan Pienkowski.

The Princess on the Pea

How do you tell a real princess from a fake princess? Find out what the queen does to reveal the truth in this classic fairy tale.

The Emperor’s New Clothes

Illustrated by the beloved creator of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel, The Little House, and Katy and the Big Snow, here is a delightful version of the tale that boys and girls have loved for centuries. The Emperor himself, his court, and his clothes or lack of them are ridiculous as only the master storyteller Hans Christian Andersen can make them. Fifty five years ago, Virginia Lee Burton added to this tale of fun her own irrepressible humor in pictures and design. This brilliant new edition features Burton’s original illustrations photographed anew, freshly exhibiting her lively concoction of remarkable spirit and beauty.

The Little Mermaid

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. A little sea princess, longing to be human, trades her mermaid’s tail for legs, hoping to win the love of a prince and earn an immortal soul for herself.

The Wild Swans

When her eleven brothers are turned into mute swans by their evil stepmother, brave Eliza endures great suffering to break the spell and rescue them. A story of loyalty, deceit, and the healing power of love, this classic fairy tale is exquisitely illustrated by Susan Jeffers. Luminous new jacket art, newly rendered interior art, and gold foil throughout enhance the wonderment of this glorious, largeformat reissue.

The Swineherd

A prince disguises himself as a swineherd and learns the true character of the princess he desires.

The Snowqueen

Gerda and Kay are the best of friends. They live across an alley from each other and happily chat, play, and tend their lovely rose garden. The children are happy until tragedy strikes Kay. His eye and heart are pierced with fragments of a mirror, and the loving boy Gerda knew vanishes. The Snow Queen has put him under her spell and taken him to her palace of snow and ice. It is up to Gerda to find him and bring him home to the love that awaits him. In this timeless storybook, Ken Setterington has captured the haunting beauty of the classic tale of love’s ability to conquer the coldest, most damaged heart. The book is illustrated with the delicate traditional cut paper art of scherenschnitt, which Hans Christian Andersen himself practiced.

Thumbelina

Join tiny Thumbelina on her magical journey from lost child to beloved bride in this glorious large format picture book. Born in a flower, Thumbelina braves the enormous, dangerous world until, through her kindness and courage, she is delivered to a kingdom of people just her size. When Susan Jeffers’s original version was first published in 1979, School Library Journal called it in a starred review ‘a remarkable, lovely version of one of the author s most beloved tales.’ New jacket art, recolored and newly rendered interior art, and gold foil borders all add to the value and elegance of this reissue.

The Little Match Girl

The luminous art of three time Caldecott Honor recipient Jerry Pinkney transforms the nineteenth century Danish girl of Andersen’s tale into a child plucked straight from America’s melting pot, shedding new light on the invisibility of the poor among the prosperous a circumstance as familiar in Andersen’s day as it is in our own. ‘ A beautifully illustrated version of a classic tale.’ Booklist, starred review

The Story of My Life

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www. million books. com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. WHEN, late in the evening, I arrived at the inn in Sla gelse, I asked the hostess if there were anything remarkable in the city. ‘ Yes,’ said she, ‘ a new English fire engine and Pastor Basthohn’s library,’ and those probably were all the lions in the city. A few officers of the Lancers composed the fine gentleman world. Everybody knew what was done in everybody’s house, whether a scholar was elevated or degraded in his class, and the like. A private theatre, to which, at general rehearsal, the scholars of the grammar school and the maid servants of the town had free entrance, furnished rich material for conversation. In my ‘ Picture Book without Pictures,’ the fourth night, I have given a sketch of it I boarded with a respectable widow of the educated class, and had a little chamber looking out into the garden and field. My place in the school was in the lowest class, among little boys: I knew indeed nothing at all. I was actually like a wild bird which is confined in a cage ; I had the greatest desire to learn, but for the moment I floundered about, as if I had been thrown into the sea; one wave followed another; grammar, geography, mathematics : I felt myself overpowered by them, and feared that I should never be able to acquire all these. The Rector, who took a peculiar delight in turning everything to ridicule, did not, of course, make an exception in my case. To me he stood there as a divinity ; I believed unconditionally every word which he spoke. One day, when I had replied incorrectly to his question, and he said that I was stupid, I mentioned it to Collin, and told him my anxiety, lest I did not deserve all that people had done for me ; but he consoled me. Occasionally, however, on some subjects of instruction, I began to receive a good cert…
