Illustrated by
Christian Birmingham.
This pleasant if undistinguished collection contains eight of Andersen's best-known fairy tales, including "The Little Mermaid" and "The Steadfast Tin Soldier." Black-and-white illustrations are scattered throughout the text-dense pages, although only the handful of full-page plates, with luminous colors, are likely to captivate read-aloud audiences.
