Synopsis
Excerpt from Fairy Tales
Who can tell how much of a mother's love and pride in her son gave her the courage to part with him, and to utter a farewell which cost her so much? N o doubt she already looked forward to a glorious future for her imaginative child, who most probably inherited from her the refined and poetic fancy which in after years made him so famous.

Product Description
18 classic tales, including The Emperor's New Clothes and The Snow Queen
From the Inside Flap
"The Princess and the Pea," "The Little Mermaid," and other great Andersen fairy tales have enchanted children since the first ones appeared in Danish in the 1830s and '40s. Spink's translation into English is widely recognized as the finest, and the new Everyman's Library edition is further graced by the magical pictures made in 1899 by three of Britain's most celebrated illustrators.
