Hans Christian Andersen's beloved tales cloaked important life lessons within an entertaining and memorable framework. This collection features some of his best-loved stories, including "The Emperor's New Clothes," in which a child's innocence shatters the prevailing atmosphere of denial; "The Ugly Duckling," which shows a good heart trumps a picture-perfect façade; and "The Swineherd," in which a prince tries to catch a reluctant royal's eye.
