Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairytales

FROM SARAH:

Here's the deal: if it's illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger, I'm probably going to love it! I think this collection might be the best place to start. You can move on to Zwerger's collection of Grimm fairy tales afterward.

Recommended for ages 4+.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Lisbeth Zwerger is one of the world’s preeminent children’s book artists, and one of the most original interpreters of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairytales. This handsome collection, originally published in 1991 now returns in celebration of Hans Christian Andersen’s 200th birthday. It includes eleven favorite stories, such as "The Princess and the Pea" and "The Emperor’s New Clothes," as well as lesser-known but equally wonderful stories, all featuring Ms. Zwerger’s distinctively elegant, witty illustrations. This superb anthology is bound to become a treasured part of every child’s library.
