De flesta av de här sagorna har man läst som barn men jag har svårt att uppskatta dem nu som vuxen.
Vissa berättelser passar inte längre.
Som Prinsessan på ärten. Det är verkligen en konstig historia. En prins som endast vill gifta sig med en äkta prinsessa…

I admit it, I might be biased. As a Dane, I have grown up with Hans Christian Andersen's fairytales. Where many cite Harry Potter as sparking their love of stories and reading, HCA was that for me. This book contains some of my absolute favourites of his stories (he has written 157 or something in total, I believe), reading them in English was certainly a different experience and sometimes I couldn't help but recall the Danish phrasing without thinking. I will always adore these stories. Childhood magic that's more than readable as an adult as well.

The Tinderbox and other short stories by Hand Christian Andersen. I was a bit shocked how violent and harsh the stories are. Still very interesting and good written but definitely not what I expected.
