Hans Christian Andersen. Good Tales by L. Lauber

The most popular characters of Hans Christian Andersen — Thumbelina, The Ugly Duckling, The Little Mermaid, and many others — have found their place in the book of good tales. The collection includes eight tales in the classic translation by Anna and Peter Hansen.
The heroes, illustrated by the German artist Larisa Lauber, have gained dynamism and expressiveness, close and understandable to modern children. Bright and amusing illustrations, resembling frames from cartoons, have become the distinctive feature of Lauber's style.
In the collection of "good tales," the young reader will find plots about compassion, love, and honesty. "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" and "The Little Mermaid" will tell sad but touching love stories, "The Little Match Girl" will teach that light can be found even in the darkest times, while "The Emperor's New Clothes" will make one laugh at the careless king and his negligent subjects.
For children aged 4 and up.
