Illustrated by
Michael Hague.
This edition, with its generous size and smooth, creamy pages, contains nine of Andersen's tales, with favorites like "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Ugly Duckling" and lesser-known works such as "The Elfin Hill." Hague's warm, nostalgic illustrations, with their accomplished fantasy backgrounds and oddly awkward human figures, are scattered sparsely throughout.
