This book was originally published in 1916. It contains 24 of Hans Andersen's most famous tales illustrated by many of Harry Clarke's enchanting colour plates and his fascinating black and white line drawings. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
