Andersen?s Fairy Tales HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN ?Just living is not enough ? one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.? Hans Christian Andersen?s name is synonymous with fairy tales. Distilled and reworked, these stories have been made widely popular through picture-books and animation movies. This collection brings all of Andersen?s vivid fantasy tales in their original form ? often much darker than the versions we are familiar with. Witches, beasts, fairies ? anything the imagination can conjure, these fairy tales include. Not only are these striking stories dreamy and full of unique characters, but each one also has a lesson to impart ? something of value for both children and adults.
