Title: Andersen's Fairy Tales

Author: Hans Christian Andersen

Narrator: Erica Johns

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 34 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-26-00

Publisher: Naxos AudioBooks

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 12 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 5-7

Publisher's Summary:

The world of Hans Christian Andersen is seen through the eyes of children. There is the every-day wonder of an ugly duckling being transformed into a swan; the puffed-up Emperor being fooled by his own importance; the tender tragedy of a little match girl; the upright honesty of John rewarded by his traveling companion. By bringing true feelings to these stories, Andersen's tales have become part of universal folklore.

Editorial Reviews:

Gorgeous orchestral music contributes to the dramatization of these charming tales. In "The Emperor's New Clothes," Erica Johns creates the ideal huffy voice for the emperor, criminal-sounding voices for the swindlers, and a realistic child's voice when all is revealed. In "The Tinder Box," listeners can almost see the crafty witch as she cajoles the soldier to steal with her creepy voice. The Ugly Duckling quacks believably as Johns elegantly describes nature. The hunting dogs' splashes into the water are also appropriately frightening and dramatic. Listening is an excellent way to enjoy Andersen's humor and wise lessons.

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.

Language: English

Release date: 12-21-16

Publisher: Audioliterature

Publisher's Summary:

"And who are you, Mr Jugg?' she inquired. 'I'm the King of the Bumpies,' he replied. When Marian was puzzled there came a little straight line, exactly in the middle, between her two eyebrows. 'What are bumpies?' she said. 'My hat!' he gasped. 'Haven't you ever heard of bumpies?' Marian shook her head. 'Oh dear, oh dear!' he sighed. 'Have you ever heard of angels?' 'Well, of course,' said Marian. 'Everybody's heard of angels.' 'Well then, bumpies,' said Mr Jugg, 'are baby angels. They're called bumpies till they've learned to fly.' 'I see,' said Marian, 'but why are they called bumpies?' 'Because they bump,' said Mr Jugg, 'not knowing how.'"

Welcome to the enchanted world of author H. H. Bashford's children's fiction, as evidenced in this collection published in 1922!

Another side to H H Bashford

A collection of fifteen magical little tales for children, written in 1922.

Don't expect to find much of the humour of Bashford's better known 'Augustus Carp' here ; the stories range from the whimsical ;little Marian coming across a group of bumpies - "baby angels. They're called bumpies till they've learned to fly......Marian's angel- everybody has a guardian angel- was smoking a quiet cigarette on the sill outside."

to the exciting; Gwendolen saving an ill-treated chimp and returning it to Monkey Island; to the rather mundane; to the highly imaginative (Adam and Eve's spirited daughter, Bella , sneaking into the Garden of Eden, past the snoring angels in their sentry boxes. Or St Uncius: "I'm the patron saint of staircases.")

Later tales are quite touching and enjoyable to the adult reader. I was particularly moved by 'The Imaginary Boy', when two girls follow a judge into a wood which he has made off-limits to everyone else. While there they see him playing cricket with a mysterious boy: "They looked at the judge and saw that his whole face had altered, as if the sun had come down and were shining through it." It turns out this was the judge's only son who had died at school (one cannot help thinking Bashford's story must have been influenced by the recent Great War) and "this is the place...where I come to imagine."

I also enjoyed the poetry of 'Marian's Party', where an artist, blinded by a gun, has developed an acute sense of hearing which he shares with Marian:

'a faint persistent ringing of bells; and these were the anemones swaying on their stems; and the little trumpet-sounds came from the primroses. Then there was a rough sort of scraping sound; and that was a mole, he said, burrowing in the earth two or three yards away. And there was a sound like a chant on one full note from a big field of grass just in front of the wood. those were the distincter notes; but there was a continuous sharp undertone, like millions of finger-tips tapping on stretched parchment; and those were the buds opening all along the hedges and upon the leaf-twigs up above them.
