Eleven of the most famous fairy tales and stories by Hans Christian Andersen inspired contemporary artist Lydia Alexeeva... to create romantic, airy images and landscapes that filled this book with a special, enchanting atmosphere. Turning the pages, we watch in fascination as little Gerda embarks on her long and difficult journey to the icy halls of the Snow Queen and witness the wonderful transformation of the ugly duckling, laugh at the foolish king, swim together with the little mermaid across the turbulent sea, or take flight on the back of a swallow.
Works by Hans Christian Andersen have been enchanting readers around the world for two centuries. His fairy tales and stories have been translated into 125 languages and have inspired numerous films, songs, ballads, and theatrical productions. The name of the great Dane is given to the main global literary prize awarded to the best authors and illustrators of children's books.
