This vintage book contains a collection of twelve classic fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen and illustrated by Dugald Stewart Walker. Hans Christian Andersen (1805 â 1875) was a Danish writer. He wrote many poems, travelogues, and plays, but he is most famous for his fairy tales, which have been translated into over 125 languages and continue to have a significant influence on western popular culture. Some of his most famous tales include \"The Emperor's New Clothes\", \"The Little Mermaid\", and \"The Ugly Duckling\". This timeless collection would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Anderson's seminal work. Contents include: âThe Mermaidâ, âThe Flying Trunkâ, âThe Red Shoesâ, âThumbelisaâ, âThe Girl Who Trod on a Loafâ, âThe Nightingaleâ, âThe Garden of Paradiseâ, âThe Wind's Taleâ, âThe Snow Queenâ, âWhat The Moon Sawâ, âThe Marsh King's Daughterâ, and âThe Travelling Companionsâ. These tales are accompanied by the beautiful and intricate illustrations of Dugald Stewart Walker. Walker was one of the most highly-celebrated illustrators of children's books during the early twentieth century and are best remembered for the lavish, magical realm that they frequently described. He is perhaps best known for his contributions to âFairy Tales from Hans Christian Andersenâ (1914), but also illustrated books such as âThe Boy who Knew what the Birds Saidâ and âDream Boats and Other Storiesâ. Pook Press celebrates the great âGolden Age of Illustrationâ in childrenâs classics and fairy tales â a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight both young and old.
