The online store "Pegas" offers a specially selected list of Andersen's tales to reveal all the facets of the great writer's creativity to the young reader in one book. 

"The Ugly Duckling". This tale was published in 1841. And does anyone among the readers know that the plot is based on...the autobiography of the storyteller himself. 

The tale "Thumbelina" is remarkable in that, unlike most fairy tale masterpieces of such wonderful storytellers as Perrault, Grimm, and Pushkin, its plot is not borrowed from folk fairy epic but is completely invented from beginning to end by Andersen himself.

"The Wild Swans". The motives of this tale are imbued with the spirit of ancient Danish legends. It is so captivating, intriguing with its plot twists, that it seems like an entire novel has fitted into this one tale. 

"The Little Mermaid". In this tale, children are told what true, real love is, a gift only a genius writer can convey. 

"The Princess and the Pea" - an extraordinarily wise fairy tale. The interesting, amusing plot has been included in the repertoires of most children's theaters.

The phrase of the boy observing the procession of the naked monarch in the tale "The Emperor's New Clothes" has become the most famous and "sharp" saying revealing falsehood, foolishness, and hypocrisy. 

The instructive tale "The Swineherd" continues the tradition of European tales that mock the arrogance of crowned persons.

The legendary "The Snow Queen" - not just a fairy tale, but a classic of world literature. This is the longest tale by Hans Christian Andersen and is among the most popular children's works in the world. Kai and Gerda have instilled a passion for reading in millions of children on all continents of the Earth.
