Hans Christian Andersen was the profoundly imaginative writer and storyteller who revolutionized literature for children. He gave us the now standard versions of some traditional fairy tales - with an anarchic twist - but many of his most famous tales sprang directly from his imagination. The thirty stories here range from exuberant early works such as 'The Tinderbox' and 'The Emperor's New Clothes' through poignant masterpieces such as 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Little Match Girl' and 'The Ugly Duckling', to more subversive later tales such as 'The Ice Maiden' and 'The Dryad'. This is the classic translation by Jean Hersholt.

Una vegada hi havia un príncep que es volia casar. Però va dir que només es casaria si trobava una princesa de veritat. Basat en el conte tradicional de H.C. Andersen.

The Emperor''s New Clothes is part of the Ladybird Favourite Tales, which are the timeless treasured stories that generations of children have grown up with and loved. These easy-to-read retellings, enhanced by exciting, richly colourful illustrations, faithfully capture all the magic of the original stories.

Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Hans Christian Andersen or H. C. Andersenis best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersens popularity is not limited to children; his stories, called eventyr in Danish, express themes that transcend age and nationality. His fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the Wests collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include "The Emperors New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling", "Thumbelina", and many more.His stories have inspired ballets, both animated and live-action films, and plays.
