Features: This picture book series is in full-color, large 16K format, comprising 13 volumes such as The Ugly Duckling, The Tinderbox, The Flying Ship, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Little Match Girl, The Picture-Book without Pictures, Thumbelina, The Princess on the Pea, The Little Mermaid, Little Ida's Flowers, and The Nightingale. Commissioned by the world's top 16 illustrators to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Andersen's birth, it includes artists such as Erik A. Bregvad from Denmark, Pia C. Kr?yer-Lacquer, and Ken Kuroi from Japan. Unlike Andersen's original text, the "Andersen's Fairy Tales Picture Book Collection" series spreads Andersen's works in a new way, passing on the profound humanistic essence of his fairy tales to future generations. The illustrations are more abstract than his words, some making you laugh, others making you cry. It can be said that each volume is suitable for reading from childhood to old age and remains fresh with every rereading.
Hold your child close, open up the exquisite Andersen picture books, and with your gentle voice, "light a match," let us walk in the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen in 2005 and together weave the dream of Andersen's fairy tales. Andersen was a writer who skillfully told adults stories through the lens of a child's innocence while sharing the experiences of the adult world with children through fairy tales. Andersen is a writer worth reading throughout our lives. The great literary master Leo Tolstoy spent ten years reading Andersen's works. Andersen is worth savoring and experiencing across generations, as the essayist Zhang Xiaofeng once said: If someone aged 5 has never listened to Andersen, their childhood lacks a touch of warmth; if someone aged 15 has never read Andersen, their youth lacks a silver sparkle; if someone aged 25 has never deeply savored Andersen, their young adulthood lacks a vibrant glow; if someone aged 35 has never understood Andersen, their middle age lacks a sense of abundance; if someone aged 45 has never reflected on Andersen, their middle age lacks a touch of melancholy; if someone aged 55 has never revisited Andersen, their later years lack a sense of depth.
Now, the "Andersen's Fairy Tales Picture Book Collection (13 volumes)" featuring the works of international illustrators, along with the global commemoration of the 200th anniversary of Andersen's birth, is stepping into our lives. We believe this exquisite gift set, specially planned to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Andersen's birth, will become a precious collection that allows everyone to cherish and relive beautiful childhood memories.
