This collection contains twenty-four of Andersen's stories, including such well-known and loved tales as 'The Little Mermaid, 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier', 'The Ugly Duckling', 'The Snow Queen', 'The Nightingale' and 'The Red Shoes'. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish poet and author celebrated for his children's stories but perhaps best known for his fables and fairy tales - meant for both adults and children. They were frequently written in a colloquial style, using idioms and spoke language in a manner previously unseen in Danish literature. Though simple at first glance, Andersen's stories often convey sophisticated moral teachings, in equal measure heart-breaking and heart-warming. The stories of Fairy Tales by Hans Andersen are accompanied by the dazzling illustrations of a master of the trade; Harry Clarke (1889 - 1931). Clarke was an Irish stained-glass artist and book illustrator - and a leading figure in the Irish Arts and Crafts Movement. His drawings were inspired by the Art Nouveax style so typical of this period - and his sinuous lines combined with delicate colouring earned him a reputation as a preeminent illustrator of the 'Golden Age.' Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate Andersen's captivating narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 432\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.31 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 06, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52647981875507,"sku":"9781445508832","price":110.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/MVo2M2JzK1hib2Z6ZEZBWExzNmZGZz09.webp?v=1762444857","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/fairy-tales-by-hans-christian-andersen-illustrated-by-harry-clarke-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
