For nearly two centuries, Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales have taught the world to dream, to hope, and to feel deeply. The Little Mermaid's sacrifice, the Ugly Duckling's transformation, the Snow Queen's icy palace, the emperor exposed by a child's honesty, the steadfast tin soldier, the little match girl's final vision: these stories reach past the nursery into something more universal, using magic and heartbreak in equal measure to explore love, identity, and mortality. Unlike the folk tales he drew on, most of these are Andersen's own inventions, and they have shaped children's literature, opera, ballet, and film ever since. This Chronicle Vault edition presents the complete collection, unabridged, in a clean, fully reflowable format for all e-readers.
