Stories of selflessness, giving, and moral might are plentiful in ‘A Little Match Girl’, whilst we try to uncover the identity of the secret and silent helpers in ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker’.
Weaving together a crackling Christmas collection of favourite fairy tales, this anthology is the perfect companion for fans of Disney’s ‘Frozen’ and C.S. Lewis' ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’.
Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author and prolific writer of plays, travelogues, and novels. He is best remembered for his literary fairy tales ‘The Princess and the Pea’, ‘The Little Mermaid’, and ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’.
Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859) Grimm, known as the Brothers Grimm, were a duo of German academics, philosophers, and authors. They collectively published folklore and are among the best-known storytellers of folk tales, including ‘Cinderella’, ‘Hansel and Gretel’, and ‘Little Red Riding Hood’.
