For more than 150 years, Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairy tales have charmed and entertained audiences around the world. Blending old folk tales with fantasy, the Danish bard's stories are rich in humor and sharp with irony. The forty-seven fables in this beautifully translated collection tell of kings and princesses, of farm boys and mermaids, of witches and ogres.
