This is a nice collection of six classic tales by Hans Christian Andersen. They are beautifully illustrated with 24 illustrations by Edmund Dulac. The stories are The Nightingale, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Princess and the Pea, The Little Mermaid, The Wind's Tale, and The Snow Queen. Children will enjoy these stories because the plots are fascinating and suspenseful and because of the imaginative clever details Andersen places in each, many of which are told with subtle humor. His stories are filled with lessons about proper curiosity and good behavior.
