Publisher's Synopsis
'The Little Mermaid' is one of the most haunting love stories ever written. Its author, Hans Christian Andersen, is a master storyteller whose tales have withstood the test of time and have been shared across borders and languages. In this anthology 17 of his creations are enchantingly retold for children today by Neil Philip. Many of his most popular tales are here: 'The Tinderbox,' 'The Emperor's New Clothes,' 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier' and 'The Little Match Girl.'
