Vol. 1 of a 2-Volume collection of the finest fairytales by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, including The frog king, Rapunzel, Hansel and Grethel, The wolf and the seven little kids, The emperor's new clothes, Thumbelina, The snow queen, and many more.

Uniting universal themes with a wonderfully personal vision of the world, Hans Christian Andersen found magic in the landscape of childhood. His talking animals and living toys shine a sparkling light on the strange wisdom of innocence and the deceptive nature of adulthood. These stories have now been adapted into countless classic films (including The Little Mermaid, The Red Shoes, and Frozen - which was based on “The Snow Queen”) and have become part of our everyday speech, such as when we talk about “ugly ducklings” and “the emperor’s new clothes.”
