Together, they showcase the remarkable range of one of the world's greatest storytellers and offer an inviting introduction to classic children's literature.In The Snow Queen, Andersen creates an unforgettable world of winter magic while exploring friendship, loyalty, courage, and the power of a determined heart.

In The Emperor's New Clothes, Andersen turns vanity and social conformity into one of literature's most memorable comic tales, reminding readers how easily appearances can triumph over common sense-and how powerful a simple truth can be.Andersen's fairy tales endure because they speak to readers on more than one level. Children can delight in magical landscapes, queens, princesses, mermaids, emperors, talking creatures, marvelous journeys, and moments of humor and suspense.
