Hans Christian Andersen is one of the world's most popular storytellers and his fairy tales are among the best-loved works of literature. Readers the world over know his poignant tale of "The Little Mermaid," who sacrifices everything for love, and "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," whose affection for a paper ballerina is symbolised by his transformation into a small tin heart. Several of Andersen's stories are so well-known - among them "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Ugly Duckling" - that their titles alone have become meaningful figures of speech. Hans Christian Andersen: Best-Loved Fairy Tales collects one hundred of Andersen's incomparable fairy tales and stories, among them "Thumbelina," "The Little Match Girl," "The Princess and the Pea," "The Red Shoes," "The Wild Swans," and his fantasy masterpiece "The Snow-Queen." This volume is beautifully illustrated with more than one hundred drawings by Dugald Stewart Walker and Hans Tegner, two of Andersen's best-known illustrators.… (mais)

An excellent compendium showcasing plenty of this great author's work. My favorite tale of his is The Little Match Girl. ( )

It's hard to rate a book with so many different stories, especially since it took me almost an entire year to read this, but I'll give it a shot.

To be honest, most of these fairy tales are forgettable, pointless, and/or just feel unfinished, as if Andersen sat down to write, lost interest a couple pages in, and moved on to something else.

Some, however, are very good. It seems like the sadder the story, the better the writing—I especially enjoyed The Little Mermaid, The Traveling Companion, and The Ice Maiden. There are several more I don't remember the titles of that I'm still thinking about; some of the choices these characters have to make are especially heartbreaking. Others I remember because the moral of the story is so outdated—like the one about the husband always being right.

Andersen seems to have a thing for inanimate objects coming to life, sad trees, winter, and the wind/moon telling stories. I think the number one lesson he has to teach us, though, is to not fall in love. Hardly anything good ever happens to his characters who sought love (at least, not until they die after much suffering and get their reward in heaven). ( )

I love fairy tales, especially Hans Christian Anderson. My favorites are The Little Mermaid, The Little Match Girl, Thumbelina, and The Steadfast Tin Solder. What I loved about this book is that it has the original writings in it, not the Disneyfied versions. I love reading the originals because they tell the true tales: Don't give up your life just for a man (Little Mermaid), Be kind to the homeless (Match Girl), and so on. What I really liked about this book is that it has small illustrations. Wat illustrations it has, as there are not many, are very intricate and tell only bits of the story. I especially liked how the stories are continuous. There are no page breaks between stories, they just flow right into each other. I also really liked that there is a table of contents so it is easy to find your favorite story. The themes of each story are different, but the main theme of the book is Hans Christian Andersons writing. ( )

Many, many years ago lived an emperor, who thought so much of new clothes that he spent all his money in order to obtain them;  his only ambition was to be always well dressed.
