A review by leari
Gesammelte Märchen by Hans Christian Andersen

3.0

I literally forgot half of the stories already because I read this collection over a looong period of time (many, many months), but some of my new-found favourites include:

Däumelinchen / Thumbelina
Der kleine Klaus und der große Klaus / Little Claus and big Claus
Der Garten des Paradieses / The garden of paradise
Der Reisekamerad / The travelling companion
Der fliegende Koffer / The flying trunk
Die Galoschen des Glücks / The goloshes of fortune
Goldschatz / Golden Treasure
Der Rosenelf / The elf of the rose
Die alte Straßenlaterne / The old street lamp
Der Bronzeeber (could not find a translation of the story)
Der böse Fürst / The wicked prince
Der Schatten / The shadow
Die Eisjungfrau / The ice maiden
Der Flaschenhals / The bottle neck

and these are some childhood favourites I re-read in this collection:

Der standhafte Bleisoldat / The brave tin soldier
Die Schneekönigin / The snow queen
Die kleine Seejungfrau / The little mermaid
Das Feuerzeug / The tinder-box
Die Nachtigall / The Nightingale
