Andersen's Fairy Tales (Used Hardcover) - Valdemar Paulsen

These tales, many of them among the world's best loved, are pure magic. Through them, we come to experience Andersen's view that the whole world is a series of marvels. Everything is animated and has personality: people, animals, even objects--and the most ordinary objects at that, like cupboards and a child's copybook, darning needles and dolls.  And the themes are no less than universal: endurance, the power of innocence, the plight of the misunderstood. Best of all, these fairy tales are as much for adults as they are for children; in fact, Andersen said he had both audiences in mind when he wrote them.
