The works of the most popular storyteller in the world, in the authorial design of Francesca Rossi, will captivate modern children with their kindness and wisdom, providing moments of unforgettable reading. The large illustrated edition contains adaptations of classic fairy tales by the outstanding Danish writer, who gifted world literature with numerous original plots and extraordinary characters. Familiar to older generations from books, films, and cartoons, Andersen's works will also interest modern children, as they are filled with goodness and a positive worldview. The collection, translated by Oleksandra Hordynchuk, includes the tales "The Snow Queen," "The Emperor's New Clothes," "Thumbelina," "The Princess and the Pea," "The Little Mermaid," "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," "The Wild Swans," and others. They tell stories about love and devotion, friendship and faith in goodness, about justice and honesty – stories that inspire children to become better girls or boys. Andersen drew inspiration for his works from European folklore. Wisdom that has been preserved for centuries gained new meanings in his authorial interpretation, becoming universal and closer to young readers from different countries of the world. However, there were exceptions. The tales "The Snow Queen" and "Thumbelina" were invented by the writer using his own imagination. Andersen's oeuvre includes hundreds of prose works for both children and adults, but the most popular have been the fairy tales. They have been translated into over 125 countries, adapted numerous times for screen and stage. This is a classic that modern children should know, as the texts of the storyteller address important themes, such as responsibility for one's actions, the memory of which lasts forever, and love for life.
