Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen

5.0

No wonder Hans Christian Andersen is a well loved author. This is my first Andersen as an adult.
I don't mean to compare but having read this after Grimm's Fairy Tales, i couldn't help but see the superiority of Hans Christian Andersen.
This book is so amusing, heartbreaking, beautifully heartbreaking. Wonderful stories, wonderful back stories. Andersen's life is so colourful.
This has become one of my favourite books.
