Author: Hans Christian Andersen / Year: 1805-1875 / Genre:6-9 years Here are all of Andersen's collected tales, many--such as "The Little Mermaid," "The Red Shoes,"
and "The Steadfast Tin Soldier"--still popular through modern adaptations, and others, including
"The Flying Trunk" and "The Most Incredible Thing," well worth rediscovering. Jack Zipes is
professor of German and comparative literature at the University of Minnesota. A specialist
in folklore and fairy tales, he has authored numerous books of criticism over the last thirty
years and edited several major anthologies, including the "Norton Anthology of Children's
Literature" (2005).
