Cuentos de Andersen

While few among Hans Christian Andersen’s characters know a truly happy ending, generations of readers across the centuries have crowned him as perhaps the most popular and beloved author in his genre. Andersen’s own humble origins and the extreme poverty in which he grew up are echoed in the often harsh fictional worlds he created, and this wonderful collection compiles 200 of his most memorable stories—all in their original versions.

Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish playwright, poet, and writer whose children’s stories are considered the best in the genre. Born into a very poor family, he moved to Copenhagen to try his luck as a dancer and opera singer.
