Illustrated by
Gennady Spirin.
In addition to the title stories, this volume includes "Thumbelina," "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," "The Nightingale," and "The Princess and the Pea"--all well known and loved. Spirin's delicate artwork, rendered in colored pencil and watercolor, is fanciful and moody, complementing Andersen's provocative tales.
