A new selection of 30 tales. At a time when children’s stories were formal, moral and didactic, Hans Christian Andersen revolutionized the genre, giving an anarchic twist to traditional folklore and creating a huge number of utterly original stories that sprang directly from his imagination. From the exuberant early stories such as ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, though poignant masterpieces such as ‘The Little Mermaid’ and ‘The Ugly Duckling’, to the darker, more subversive later tales written for adults, the stories included here are endlessly experimental, both humorous and irreverent, sorrowful and strange. This book – beautifully illustrated with a selection of Andersen’s amazing paper cut-outs - will bring these magical tales to life for readers of any age.

Exploring the life and art of a pivotal figure in the late nineteenth century, this book offers an in-depth analysis of the founder of the Impressionist movement. It delves into the artist's innovative techniques, influential works, and the cultural context that shaped their creative vision. Through detailed examination, it highlights the lasting impact this painter had on the art world and how their contributions transformed modern artistic expression.
