This collection, with sparkling new renderings of the tales by Neil Philip, includes stories such as Thumbelina, Little Ida's Flowers, The Snow Queen, In a Thousand Year's Time, The Nightingale and The Wild Swans, all beautifully illustrated by Isabelle Brent. Some lesser-known tales such as The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep and The Gardener and His Master have also been included by Philip to showcase the different facets of Andersen's genius. Brent's luminous paintings, finished with a metallic gold detailing, bring a fresh perspective to these timeless fairy tales, making this edition irresistible to those who have loved the stories over the years, and offers the perfect introduction for readers lucky enough to discover the stories for the first time.
