Book Description Softcover. Condition: New. Discover the timeless, captivating children's stories of Hans Christian Andersen in The Little Mermaid and Other Fairy Tales. These enchanting and unforgettable tales, filled with adventure and invaluable life lessons, have been among literary history's most frequently translated works. A curious little mermaid princess trades her voice to a sea witch for legs to be with a human prince she loves in "The Little Mermaid;" "Great Claus and Little Clause," about a clever young man who turns a series of misfortunes into a fortune; "The Tinder Box," recounts the adventures of a soldier and a magical tinderbox that grants any wish; and "The Swineherd," about a poor prince who wishes to marry the emperor's daughter. Readers of all ages will enjoy the pleasures of this time-honored collection and its fun-filled adventures. For this edition, all four stories have been newly reset in large, easy-to-read type and are enhanced with six full-page illustrations by Thea Kliros.This collection is an excellent introduction to the beloved classic tales of Hans Christian Andersen for ages 8 and up. These stories have delighted generations of readers with their originality, whimsy, and humorous treatment of human faults and foibles-vanity, snobbery, greed, and the like. Often these human failings are the villains of the story rather than the witch or ogres of traditional tales. The tales include invaluable life lessons about accepting others and oneself, consequences, the dangers of greed, hard work, honesty, kindness, the importance of family, love, perseverance, and sacrifice. All four stories have been reset in large, easy-to-read type and are enhanced with six new full-page illustrations by Thea Kliros. Andersen's imaginative and engaging worlds of adventure and mischief offer a treasure trove of experiences that will inspire young readers to improve their reading skills. Dover's Children's Thrift Classics is an affordable series featuring dozens of classic stories and poems for children ages 8 and up. Seller Inventory # DADAX0486278166
