Review: "In this volume, Andersen's most acclaimed works, such as "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Snow Queen," and "The Little Mermaid," are now joined by "The Shadow," "Story of a Mother," and the rarely seen "Auntie Toothache," mature stories that reveal the imaginative depths of his prose and vision. Maria Tatar demonstrates that Andersen - previously marginalized by working in a "minor" language (Danish) and in a literary precinct seen as lacking sophistication (children's literature) - deserves a place in the nineteenth-century literary pantheon of Dickens, Balzac, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Gogol, and Zola." "These stories - newly translated by Maria Tatar and Julie K. Allen - are accompanied by more than 150 illustrations by artists including Kay Nielsen, Edmund Dulac, and Arthur Rackham. The volume also includes two essays on Andersen's cultural influence and a wealth of annotations that explore the rich nineteenth-century world that shaped these stories."--BOOK JACKET.
