A collection of Hans Christian Andersen's best loved fairy tales is here illustrated with the magnificent Art Nouveau colour illustrations of Kay Nielsen.

Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these...
