Reproduction of the original: The Sand -Hills of Jutland by Hans Christian Andersen
In this volume you will find 18 children’s stories by the master story-teller - Hans Christian Andersen. This present volume is the second of the selected stories from Hans Christian Andersen. John Ruskin, after whom Ruskin College, Oxford is named, considered "The Sandhills of Jutland" to be “the most perfect story” that he knew. The 18 tales in this volume are: The Sand-Hills Of Jutland The Mud-King's Daughter The Quickest Runners The Bell's Hollow Soup Made Of A Sausage-Stick The Neck Of A Bottle The Old Bachelor's Nightcap Something The Old Oak Tree's Last Dream The Wind Relates The Story Of Waldemar Daae and His Daughters The Girl Who Trod Upon Bread Olé, The Watchman Of The Tower Anne Lisbeth; Or, The Apparition Of The Beach Children's Prattle A Row Of Pearls The Pen And The Inkstand The Child In The Grave Charming The power of Andersen’s tales to charm and elevate runs like a living thread through whatever he writes. His books have met the tests and held an undiminishing popularity among the best of children's books. They have set the standard, and their place in permanent literature will grow wider and more secure as time passes. Only a few children's authors will, and should, be ranked among the Immortals, and Hans Andersen is without a doubt one of them. That the genial author travelled widely for a man of his time, has enabled him to add charm to the stories in this volume. Almost everywhere he went he was urged to tell the tales himself. Even though he had become world famous, he did with equal measures of charm and grace in the kitchens of the humble and in the courts of nobles and palaces of kings. Wherever there are children to read, the stories of Hans Christian Andersen will be read and loved. =============== TAGS: Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, bedtime, fables, read, school children, homes, love to read, story-teller, imagination, sweet, sad, sand hills of jutland, sand dunes, mud-king's daughter, quickest runners, bell's hollow, soup made of a sausage-stick, neck of a bottle, old bachelor's nightcap, something, old oak tree's last dream, wind relates the story of waldemar daae, daughters, girl who trod upon bread, olé, watchman of the tower, anne lisbeth, apparition of the beach, children's prattle, row of pearls, pen and the inkstand, child in the grave, charming
This is a story from the Jutland sand-hills, but it does not commence there; on the contrary, it commences far away towards the south, in Spain. The sea is the highway between the two countries. Fancy yourself there. The scenery is beautiful; the climate is warm. There blooms the scarlet pomegranate amidst the dark laurel trees; from the hills a refreshing breeze is wafted over the orange groves and the magnificent Moorish halls, with their gilded cupolas and their painted walls.
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author and poet, most famous for his fairy tales. Most English (as well as German and French) sources use the name "Hans Christian Andersen," but in Denmark and the rest of Scandinavia he is usually referred to as merely "H. C. Andersen. " During Andersen's lifetime he was feted by royalty and acclaimed as having brought joy to children across Europe. His fairy tales have been translated into over 150 languages and continue to be published in "millions of copies all over the world." In 1829, Andersen enjoyed a considerable success with a short story entitled A Journey on Foot from Holmen's Canal to the East Point of Amager.
