Features: The poor and miserable little match girl goes to another warm and beautiful world in her heart; the foolish emperor puts on a non-existent new outfit; the Little Mermaid selflessly and unwaveringly gives herself for love—this is Andersen's Fairy Tales, a fairy tale that is not just for children but also for adults, a timeless and eternal classic that transcends time and space. Hans Christian Andersen was a famous Danish fairy tale writer in the 19th century and also the founder of world fairy tale literature. From a young age, he had a deep passion for literary and artistic creation. In 1835, his novel gained international acclaim, but what made him world-famous were his fairy tales. The fairy tale collection Stories for Children, published the same year, was warmly received by young readers. Over the next forty years, Andersen wrote a total of 168 fairy tales, elevating him to the pinnacle of world literature.
