Features: Two hundred years ago, a remarkable fairy tale was born in Danish history. 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 passed away without leaving anything behind for his mother and son. A life of destitution seemed destined to shatter all hope for the child's future, leaving him to spend his remaining years in poverty. But this boy harbored dreams. These dreams also became reality. 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, The Ugly Duckling. The global commemorative events for the bicentennial of Hans Christian Andersen's birth aim to launch modernized translations of his works, disseminating them in new ways to pass on the profound humanistic spirit of the deep meaning in Andersen's fairy tales to the next generation. This set of Illustrated Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales is translated by the renowned translator Mr. Ren Rongrong with high-quality translation, beautifully illustrated by top domestic children's book illustrators, and edited and published by the well-known Zhejiang Children's Publishing House.
