Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Upper-elementary students who have read Andersen's classics and want to broaden their reading
- Fairy-tale lovers who enjoy folklore and fantastical imagery
- Parents who want to read with their children and discuss the stories' meanings
- Literary readers interested in Andersen's mid- and late-period style
Not a good fit for
- First-time Andersen readers looking only for the most famous stories
- Young children sensitive to slightly dark imagery such as will-o'-the-wisps and toothache
- Families expecting light, sweet bedtime stories
Reading tips
- Start with shorter pieces such as "The Book with No Pictures" and "A Bottle" to get used to the book's narrative pace and tone.
- When reading together, retell the plot in a sentence or two after each story, then talk about why the characters acted as they did.
- For stories with unusual imagery such as "The Will-o'-the-Wisps Are in Town," look up the folklore background before reading for smoother comprehension.
- There is no need to read straight through in table-of-contents order; group stories by theme and read two or three at a time, leaving time for reflection and discussion.
