Features: The 19th century was a peak period for the development of Western literature and art. Great masters emerged one after another, and works of enduring value continuously appeared. These masters and these works still have a worldwide influence today, providing models for literary and artistic creation. Children's literature was no exception. It achieved epoch-making achievements in the 19th century. One outstanding writer in this field was Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875). His fairy tales are still beloved by children all over the world—as well as adults. His name is naturally well-known. The primary language textbooks in Chinese elementary schools all include his works. In other words, every Chinese person with a basic education knows the name of this Danish master.
Andersen's fairy tales have a very close connection to folk literature. Most of his works draw from folk tales or folk songs and legends, inheriting and developing the simple and fresh style of folk literature, making them highly suitable for reading and storytelling.
Andersen's fairy tales have a distinct linguistic style. He extensively uses the everyday speech of the lower classes in Denmark and the structural forms of folk tales, resulting in language that is vivid, fluent, natural, and beautiful, filled with a strong sense of local flavor.
Andersen's Fairy Tales includes all of the fairy tales created by Andersen, allowing readers to understand the full scope of his work and experience its infinite charm. Among his famous characters are the little match girl and the ugly duckling. The emperor who falls for the trick of wearing new clothes is vividly portrayed, and the stories are lively, interesting, and rich in imagination. Reading these works allows one to appreciate the immense appeal of truth, goodness, and beauty, gaining inspiration and being moved. This book is richly illustrated and comprehensive, making it both a classic of world children's literature and an excellent edition for reading and collecting.
