Features: Two hundred years ago, Denmark's most remarkable fairy tale was born. In the town of Odense, a poor laundress gave birth to a boy. The boy's father was a war veteran who became a cobbler after his discharge and left nothing behind for his mother and son after his death. Life with nothing seemed destined to shatter all hope for the child's future, leaving him to spend his remaining years in poverty and hardship. But this boy harbored dreams. These dreams also came true. The boy grew up tenaciously, becoming a storyteller for the world and touching generations of readers worldwide. From Copenhagen to Rome, from Cairo to Santiago, from Dubai to Beijing, his stories are well-known to all—The Emperor's New Clothes, The Little Mermaid, and perhaps the most famous of all, The Ugly Duckling. The global bicentennial celebration of Hans Christian Andersen's birth aims to launch modernized translations of his works, disseminating them in new ways to pass on the profound humanistic spirit of Andersen's fairy tales to the next generation. This set of "Colorful Illustrated Andersen's Fairy Tales" is translated by the renowned translator Mr. Ren Rongrong, illustrated by top domestic children's book illustrators, and edited and published by the well-known Zhejiang Children's Publishing House.
