Features: Hans Christian Andersen is the pioneer of literary fairy tales and one of the greatest fairy tale writers in the history of human literature. His works have had an immeasurable and profound influence on people in later generations. From June 7, 1835, to 1872, over the span of 37 years, Andersen wrote a total of 212 fairy tales. As the pioneer of "literary fairy tales," he not only collected, organized, and published folk legends but also created fairy tales. In the early 20th century, Andersen's fairy tales had already spread to China. Today, stories like The Little Match Girl, The Little Mermaid, and The Emperor's New Clothes are household names in China. A hundred and thirty years after his physical presence vanished from the world in the present day, his soul, his thoughts, and his ideals still live on in the world, in every corner where there is text, dreams, love, and warmth. As Ostrovsky asserted, "Novels made Andersen famous, but fairy tales will make Andersen immortal," Andersen will live forever, forever in the hearts of children and their parents all over the world. Andersen's fairy tales are filled with the feelings of a person who has endured hardships toward life, with endless sorrow but also sincere gratitude; they are filled with the yearning of a person who longs for recognition and respect; they are filled with praise for truth, goodness, and beauty, and a denunciation of falsehood, ugliness, and evil. Humor and wit are everywhere. Today, Andersen's fairy tales have become inseparable companions for generations of children and parents because "Andersen's fairy tales are simply wonderful." This set includes all of Andersen's complete fairy tales, divided into four volumes—Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple—featuring Chinese-English (bilingual) translations, accurate wording, and exquisite illustrations, bringing readers aesthetic enjoyment. The set is exquisitely packaged and can be an ideal gift for family and friends!
