Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales

Fairy Tales, pesona, anak-anak, tidur

The Hans Andersen Fairy Tales will be read in schools and homes as long

as there are children who love to read. As a story-teller for children

the author has no rival in power to enlist the imagination and carry it

along natural, healthful lines. The power of his tales to charm and

elevate runs like a living thread through whatever he writes. In the two

books in which they are here presented they have met the tests and held

an undiminishing popularity among the best children's books. They are

recognized as standards, and as juvenile writings come to be more

carefully standardized, their place in permanent literature will grow

wider and more secure. A few children's authors will be ranked among the

Immortals, and Hans Andersen is one of them.
