Hans Christian Andersen: Stories and Fairy Tales
By Hans Christian Andersen & Erik Blegvad
$17.00
Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales are like exquisite jewels, drawing from us gasps of recognition and delight.
Writing in the midst of a Europe-wide rebirth of national literature, Anderson broke new ground with his fairy tales in two important ways. First, he composed them in the vernacular, mimicking the language he used in telling them to children aloud. Second, he set his tales in his own land and time, giving rise to his loving descriptions of the Danish countryside. In contrast to such folklorists as the Brothers Grimm, Anderson’s tales are grounded in the real and often focus on the significance of small or overlooked things.
