Publisher Description The Black Classics edition of our glorious new translation and selection of 30 tales to mark the 200 year anniversary of Andersens birth in 2005With this new translation and selection, the unique inventiveness of Andersens genius is revealed. At a time when childrens stories were formal, moral and didactic, Hans Christian Andersen revolutionized the genre, giving an anarchic twist to traditional folklore and creating a huge number of utterly original stories that sprang directly from his imagination. From the exuberant early stories such as The Emperors New Clothes, through poignant masterpieces such as The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling, to the darker, more subversive later tales written for adults, the stories included here are endlessly experimental, both humorous and irreverent, sorrowful and strange.
