Description
Step into a world of magic, whimsy, and timeless moral tales with this beautiful edition of Andersen’s Fairy Tales, brought to life by the striking illustrations of Arthur Szyk. First published as part of the Illustrated Junior Library series and later reprinted in 1981, this edition carries forward the classic charm of Andersen’s work with lush color plates and fine line drawings juxtaposed throughout the text (as seen in earlier printings). This edition typically contains 29 of Andersen’s beloved tales, including: The Ugly Duckling The Red Shoes The Emperor’s New Clothes The Snow Queen The Little Match Girl The Steadfast Tin Soldier The Wild Swans The Princess and the Pea What the Good Man Does Is Always Right …and more Szyk’s artwork, known for its detailed, somewhat exotic flair and dramatic contrasts, gives visual depth that enhances Andersen’s sometimes bittersweet narratives. Very good condition!
