I love fairy tales and these are some of the best and are great classics. ( )

Weird illustrations by the amazing Arthur Szyk add an unsettling tone to the Andersen we all know and love.

This is my dad's old collection of Andersen's fairy tales and although I have another more complete collection, this one is my favorite one. The illustrations are beautiful and the cover alone makes me happy. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
Far out at sea the water is as blue as the bluest cornflower, and as clear as the clearest crystal; but it is very deep, too deep for any cable to fathom, and if many steeples were piled on top of one another they would not reach from the bed of the sea to the surface of the water.
A soldier came marching along the highway: One, two! One, two!
Far out at sea the water is as blue as the bluest cornflower, and as clear as the clearest crystal; but it is very deep, too deep for any cable to fathom, and if many steeples were piled on the top of one another they would not reach from the bed of the sea to the surface of the water. (The Mermaid)
There was once a king's son. (The Garden of Paradise)
