EDITORS COMMENTS

Andersen, the beloved storyteller, continues to enchant us with his timeless tales. From the Snow Queen's icy realm beautifully illustrated by Harry Clarke, to the Emperor of China and his nightingale brought to life by Arthur Szyk, Andersen's imagination knows no bounds. In Edmund Dulac's mesmerizing artwork for Thumbelina, we witness her magical journey as she flies off with her Fairy Prince on the back of a swallow. As she bids farewell to her feathery friend, we can't help but be captivated by their bond. Wandering into W Heath Robinson's whimsical illustrations, we encounter two mischievous rogues pretending to be weavers and causing quite a stir. Meanwhile, in another scene from Robinson's collection, The Nile Flood Had Retired reveals an intricate world where nature takes center stage. But it is not just humans who come alive in Andersen's stories; animals too have voices. In Can You Purr?, Robinson portrays a curious cat engaging in conversation that tickles our hearts. And let us not forget The Little Robber-Maiden who adds an element of adventure and intrigue to Andersen's tales. Finally, Edmund Dulac transports us into The Real Princess where bruises become part of a mysterious bedtime experience. With each illustration capturing the essence of Andersen’s words published in 1938 Stories from Hans Andersen anthology - we are reminded why these stories continue to resonate with readers young and old alike. Andersen’s legacy lives on through these captivating visuals that bring his characters and narratives vividly alive – forever etched within our imaginations.
