PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A newly refurbished (and handsomely produced) collection of twenty-two tales, adroitly re-translated by Diana and Jeffrey Frank and with the original illustrations by Vilhelm Pedersen and Lorenz Froelich. The translators provide a 40-page introduction on the real H.C. Andersen, notes and an annotated bibliography. Best of all, the lively new translation captures the oddball charm, surprising syntax and colloquial simplicity of the original Danish (or so we believe after perusing stilted previous translations).
