Publisher's Summary:
Hans Christian Andersen (often referred to in Scandinavia as H. C. Andersen; April 2, 1805 - August 4, 1875) was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories - called eventyr, or "fairy-tales" - express themes that transcend age and nationality.
Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well.

I didn't realize the font would be so small. I got this for my father who has not so great eyes. He complained that the story of the princess and the pea was shorter than expected (3 paragraphs) but there's a ton of stories he can read instead. The illustrations are quite nice.
dense small font, all main tales there - great for references, not so many pics
I wish the producers of Frozen read Anderson and passed the spirit of his tales to their cartoon. He was a great psychologist and most of his tales are not focused on love stories (unlike majorities of tales around the world). His tales are an exploration of human types and are about learning experience. The book is very dense with material, small font, the pictures are b/w, not many of them, so it is mostly for those who want text, and not pictures, and not for young kids. It was great for me, to keep it as a reference, and maybe to ready to grand-kids.
Five Stars
I love the book.
One of the Best Free eBooks for Kindle I've Run Across
When I downloaded this ebook, I was very pleasantly surprised. First, the description above is not very accurate. There are many more than 12 stories in this generous collection, though I haven't counted exactly how many. Second, there is a hyperlinked table of contents for instant access to any of the stories, unlike many of the free ebooks I've seen. Finally, the text appears to be clean (not filled with obvious typos), and the presentation is good. This is undoubtedly one of the best free ebooks for the Kindle I've seen. It's an excellent value and highly recommended.
Best of its Kind
I have been slowly (so veeeerrry slooooowlllly) working my way through all the Hans Christian Andersen books available for kindle. This is the only one I would suggest reading.
Not only does this version have an active table of contents and lack any of the distracting misplacement of page numbers and illustration names that several of the others have (although it's still not illustrated), but it contains what appears to be every story ever written by Hans Christian Andersen!
Long stories (The Ice Maiden), short stories (The Princess and the Pea), well-known stories (The Little Mermaid), unknown stories (She was Good for Nothing) and dozens of others are all contained within these e-ink pages!
They are also readable! This is not the case with some of the other HCA books on kindle.
