Review by Booklist Review

Gr. 4-6. A charming (if highly fictionalized) musical film, entitled Hans Christian Andersen and starring Danny Kaye, highlights events from the storyteller's life and features snippets of his imaginative tales.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales, edited and illus. by Lisbeth Zwerger, trans. by Anthea Bell, originally published in 1991, includes three additional stories, and its new design matches Zwerger's Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. The 11 tales include the familiar ("The Little Match Girl") and the lesser-known ("The Sandman"). Zwerger's signature watercolors come alive in full-page illustrations elegantly and simply framed in a band of white. From grief-stricken Thumbeline leaning over the dead swallow to the self-deluded, nearly naked emperor admiring himself vainly in the mirror, the artwork conveys a range of emotions.

Review by Horn Book Review

Enhanced by the addition of three stories and their accompanying illustrations, this new edition is now formatted like Zwerger's [cf2]Alice in Wonderland[cf1] and [cf2]The Wizard of Oz.[cf1] The eleven selections include familiar as well as lesser-known tales. Elegant, spare, and sometimes even surprising in their composition, Zwerger's full-page watercolor paintings make this gathering of Andersen's work one of the loveliest available.
