Features: The first part of this book is Hans Christian Andersen's "Album Without Pictures." When we read those stories, we can see from his words the pictures he wanted to draw. The latter part is Hans Christian Andersen's "Album With Pictures"—"Hans Christian Andersen's Album." We have selected these sketches by Hans Christian Andersen to show our friends that he was not only a writer who used a quill pen but also an artist who drew with pencils and quill pens. His paintings are mysterious, bizarre, and sensitive, with every stroke as if it came from a dreamlike realm. These illustrations, along with his words, form his fairy-tale life.
