Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales, a literary genre he so mastered that he himself has become as mythical as the tales he wrote. Andersen’s popularity is not limited to children; his stories – called eventyrs, or “fantastic tales” – express themes that transcend age and nationality.
To be fully honest here I didn’t have a lot of expectations for this one. Which turned out to be a good thing.
Ive already reviewed each fairy tale, so in this book we will talk about this book as a whole rather than going deep down in each fairy tale.
This book is a collection of all the fairy tales which Hand Christian Andersen written. And to be honest I wasn’t the biggest fan of the 99% of them. The reason might be reading children’s fairy tales as an adult.
The cover of this book is completely stunning and it would be an amazing add to my bookshelf to keep even thou I wasn’t a fan of it.
In my opinion fairy tales doesn’t make a good story because they are meant to be show morality rather than being entertaining. However it this book would make an great gift for a child below the age of 12.
The majority of the fairy tales are very depressing. And they made me sad at times while reading them and after finishing them.
The writing style to Hans Christian Andersen is very easy and simple. Which means that all ages can read it.
All the fairy tale are easy to read and at the same time pretty quick as well.
I Give This Book 3 / 5
