"The Princess and the Pea, " "The Little Mermaid, " and other great Andersen fairy tales have enchanted children since the first ones appeared in Danish in the 1830s and '40s. Spink's translation into English is widely recognized as the finest, and the new Everyman's Library edition is further graced by the magical pictures made in 1899 by three of Britain's most celebrated illustrators.

Grade 4 Up-Both children and adults will enjoy this collection of 30 of Andersen's best-known fairy tales, newly translated by Tiina Nunnally (sic). British actors Kate Reading and Richard Matthews alternate reading, and both deliver expressive and powerful narrations. The stories include "The Princess and the Pea," "Thumbelina," "The Little Mermaid," "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," "The Ugly Duckling," and "The Snow Queen," among others. Published to celebrate the bicentennial of Andersen's birth, this audiobook would be a solid addition to any library collection.-Beverly Bixler, San Antonio Public Library, TX
