This collection, ‘The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen’ contains thirty-two of Hans Christian’s most well-loved tales, and is illustrated by the charming plates and black and white line drawings of Rie Cramer and L.A. Govey. The stories include: ‘The Princess and the Pea’; ‘The Tinder Box’; ‘The Ugly Duckling’; ‘The Little Match-Girl’; ‘The Snow Queen’; ‘Thumbelina’; ‘The Little Mermaid’; ‘The Nightingale’; ‘The Fir Tree’; ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, and many more. Hans Christian Andersen (1805 – 1875) was a Danish poet and author celebrated for his children’s stories but perhaps best known for his fables and fairy tales – meant for both adults and children. They were frequently written in a colloquial style, using idioms and spoke language in a manner previously unseen in Danish literature. Though simple at first glance, Andersen’s stories often convey sophisticated moral teachings, in equal measure heart-breaking and heart-warming. His stories are presented alongside the illustrations of Rie Cramer and L. A. Govey, so that both the artwork and the text, may be better appreciated. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children’s stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.
