ILLUSTRATED WORLD EDITION [1950] FLENSTED

18th printing / 1970 of this classic miniature hardcover with slipcase, issued from Odense, Hans Christian Andersen's native town, by the publishing firm of Flensted

Cloth-bound hardcover is absolutely mint; like new and seemingly unread.

Slipcase shows visible age / wear but is fully in tact.

Uniting universal themes with a wonderfully personal vision of the world, Hans Christian Andersen found magic in the landscape of childhood. His talking animals and living toys shine a sparkling light on the strange wisdom of innocence and the deceptive nature of adulthood. These stories have now been adapted into countless classic films (including The Little Mermaid, The Red Shoes, and Frozen­—which was based on “The Snow Queen”) and have become part of our everyday speech, such as when we talk about “ugly ducklings” and “the emperor’s new clothes.”

Transcending generations, language, and nationality, these stories continue to delight and enlighten us in equal measure.
