About this book
Hans Christian Andersen’s illustrated collection gathers fairy tales for children, though its stories of loyalty, rank, and deception also speak to older readers. When Elise’s brothers become swans, she must help them fashion a way to carry her across the sea. Elsewhere, a learned man discovers that his shadow has gained power enough to threaten him and pursue a royal marriage. The magic often leads to unsettling questions about who has the right to command or be believed.
