Collection of 29 of Andersen's most beloved tales in a beautiful edition lavishly illustrated by Czech artist Arthur Szyk, translated by Lucas & Paull. Gorgeous full-color plates, as well as black-and-white line drawings, are interspersed through the 327 pages of text; they have a decided Indian/exotic flavor.
