At a time when childrenP#39;s stories were formal, moral and didactic, Hans Christian Andersen revolutionized the genre, giving an anarchic twist to traditional folklore and creating a huge number of utterly original stories that sprang directly from his imagination. From the exuberant early stories such as The EmperorP#39;s New Clothes, through poignant masterpieces such as The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling, to the darker, more subversive later tales written for adults, the stories included here are endlessly experimental, both humorous and irreverent, sorrowful and strange.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128398033054,"sku":"UBD-9780140448931","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140448931.jpg?v=1786540338","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140448931","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
