This book is Selected Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen from the "Classics Every Young Reader Must Read" series, compiled by the series editorial board and published by Henan Science and Technology Press in October 2013 as a 16mo paperback of about 112,000 characters. It selects seventeen fairy tales from the work of the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875), covering different stages of his career: stories known for humor and irony, such as "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Princess and the Pea" and "What the Old Man Does Is Always Right," as well as famous tales that embody the pursuit of beauty, love and dignity, such as "The Ugly Duckling," "Thumbelina," "The Little Mermaid," "The Wild Swans," "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" and "The Little Match Girl." It also includes "Five Peas from a Pod," "A Silver Shilling," "The Daisy," "The Nightingale," "The Last Pearl," "The Goblin at the Grocer's," "The Windmill" and "A Good Temper." The selection consists mainly of short pieces of moderate length and simple language, aiming to let young readers come to know the basic character of Andersen's tales within a single volume—innocent imagination, plain and warm humor, and, behind the fantasy, a concern for real life. Andersen's fairy tales have been translated into more than 150 languages, and he is hailed as the "father of the modern fairy tale"; his characters and scenes have also become shared childhood memories for generation after generation.Editor's review
安徒生童话的版本极多，选本的好坏，主要看两件事：选目是否兼顾名篇与全貌，译文与编排是否真正适合孩子读。这本《安徒生童话选》属于“青少年成长必读经典书系”，选目十七篇，既有《丑小鸭》《海的女儿》《卖火柴的小女孩》《皇帝的新装》这样几乎人人皆知的篇目，也收进了《一块银毫》《雏菊》《最后的珠子》《杂货店里的机灵鬼》等相对不那么常见、却同样见功力的作品；读者读到的并非几篇名作的重复，而是安徒生创作面貌的一个缩影。全书篇幅约十一万字，单篇短小，一册在手，孩子可以在课余时间一篇一篇地读完，不会因为篇幅过长而半途放弃；对刚开始接触外国经典的中小学生来说，“读得完”往往比“读得多”更重要。选本的另一层价值，在于它把童话当作文学作品而非仅仅当作故事来呈现：皇帝新装里的自欺，豌豆公主里对“真”的苛刻辨认，老头子做事总不会错里的宽厚与信任，都值得读完之后停下来想一想。安徒生笔下的世界并不总是明亮甜美的，卖火柴的小女孩在寒夜里死去，小人鱼用声音换取一双脚，这种带着温度与疼痛的美，恰是孩子情感成长中宝贵的一课。若想让孩子借一本书认识安徒生，这个选本是很合适的起点。Who it's for
A good fit for
- 小学中高年级至初中的学生，可作为课外阅读与语文拓展读物
- 希望孩子从短篇入手、循序渐进接触世界经典名著的家长
- 需要班级共读或读书会选材的中小学语文教师
- 已经知道几个童话名篇、想进一步了解安徒生整体创作面貌的读者
Not a good fit for
- 希望一次收齐安徒生一百六十余篇作品、追求“全集”的深度读者
- 偏好叶君健等权威译本、对译者和版本有严格要求的研究者
- 低龄幼儿：本书无注音、插图有限，更适合已能独立阅读的孩子
Reading tips
- 不必按目录顺序读：先读熟悉的《丑小鸭》《皇帝的新装》，再尝试《一块银毫》等陌生篇目，保持新鲜感。
- 每读完一篇，用一两句话写下“这个故事让我想到了什么”，积累下来就是一篇小小的读后感。
- 遇到《海的女儿》《卖火柴的小女孩》这类结局沉重的篇目，可以亲子共读，边读边聊人物的选择与心情。
- 读完后不妨与另一个译本或动画改编对照，看看同一个故事在不同表达里有什么不同。

About the author
Hans Christian Andersen AuthorHans Christian Andersen is a world-renowned writer of fairy tales. Though the available records give limited information about his nationality and dates of birth and death, as many as 111 of his works are held here, which shows how widely his writing has circulated among Chinese readers. His representative works include The Complete Fairy Tales of Andersen and A Collection of Andersen's Fairy Tales, along with individual pieces such as The Dream Under the Willow Tree, The Old Church Bell, A Great Grief, The Saucy Boy, and The Phoenix Bird; other works are included in Harvard Classics Volume 1: Folk-Lore and Fable. These works are usually classified under literature, children's literature, foreign literature, children's books, classics, and world masterpieces. Andersen drew on folk tales and everyday life, writing in plain yet imaginative language and often using fantastical stories to reflect on human nature and fate. His tales suit children while also appealing to adults, and they have had a profound influence on later fairy-tale writing.
