A beautiful and timeless collection of stories that carries a special historical and publishing charm. For local collectors and printing history enthusiasts, this volume hides an extremely interesting detail on the copyright page: namely, while the book was typeset in Manchester, it was printed and bound in the former Yugoslavia at the facilities of the famous printing giant "Grafoimpex", giving it a unique local historical connection and collectible value. The collection brings a carefully selected and representative cross-section of Andersen's most famous tales that have shaped the upbringing of generations worldwide. The contents include anthological masterpieces such as The Ugly Duckling, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Emperor's New Clothes, Thumbelisa, The Little Mermaid, and the extensive, magical winter saga The Snow Queen, told through seven interconnected stories. The visual identity of the book is simply enchanting – it comes with a recognizable, elegant original dust jacket dominated by a beautiful, classic watercolor illustration of The Ugly Duckling in nature, which instantly evokes the nostalgia of the golden age of children's illustration. This antiquarian copy features an exceptionally high level of preservation for an edition nearly four decades old.
