Hans Christian Andersen Classic Fairy Tales (2015 Barnes & Noble edition) is a beautifully bound collection of timeless stories by the beloved Danish storyteller, featuring enchanting tales such as The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen, The Ugly Duckling, and The Emperor’s New Clothes. This edition gathers Andersen’s most cherished works, which have captivated readers for generations with their blend of whimsy, moral lessons, and poignant beauty.
The Barnes & Noble edition enhances these classic stories with elegant design elements, including a faux-leather or bonded-leather cover, gilt-edged pages, and a ribbon marker. The volume is often illustrated with classic artwork, such as the delicate engravings of Vilhelm Pedersen or Kay Nielsen’s Art Nouveau interpretations, adding visual charm to Andersen’s vivid storytelling.
A perfect gift for fairy tale enthusiasts, this edition preserves the magic of Andersen’s original narratives—some dark and bittersweet (The Little Match Girl), others triumphant (Thumbelina)—while presenting them in a luxurious keepsake format.
