This illustrated book of five classic fairy tales follows an earlier edition based mostly on works by the Brothers Grimm. The tribute here is to Hans Christian Andersen and three of his most popular stories, including the search for a genuine princess, an emperor who is foolish as well as ridiculous, and a duckling that discovers there’s more than meets the eye in the real world. They are joined by a little girl who takes advantage of three bears, first put into print by Robert Southey in 1837, and the tale of a mysterious piper which has seen many variations, Robert Browning’s in particular, on the events of June 26, 1284, when the children of a small hamlet suddenly disappeared.
