Of course I had to read this book!
The Emperor's New Clothes- if you don't know yourself, you'll fall for whatever
The Nightingale- true friendship means forgiveness
The Little Mermaid- oh boy! Let's talk. Possibly a movement through stages of life. Female sexuality?
Thumbelina- a story of unrequited love.
The Ugly Duckling- more about a fluke change than acceptance of being. So go find your flock!

Tahle knížka mě vrátila zpátky do dětství, spoustu pohádek už jsem znala, ale i tak jsem si to moc užila.

"Selected Fairy Tales" by Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen's most well-known children's stories are collected in this Collins Classics volume titled "Selected Fairy Tales".
MY THOUGHTS:
I liked "The Nightingale" story in this book, it is my favorite. This is the type of book I'd read to my future children. But also, Andersen remains monumental in the foundation of Danish literature, as well as children's literature.

I did enjoyed half of the story, but the other half I just really didn't care for it
It was an interesting collection stories and were really a good escape during this situation of pandemic.
