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.
