Description

Hans Christian Andersen, as well as being one of the world's greatest writers of poetry and fairy tales, was also seriously committed to art. The quality of his drawings, paper-arts and collages is evident in this book by Danish painter and writer, Kjeld Heltoft. In addition to being a new edition of the author's original book on this subject (which appeared in five different editions between 1969 and 1980), this publication is important because of the much enhanced quality of the show more reproduction of Andersen's works. For the first time they come very close to his pictorial art as it looked when he created it. show less
