EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES (The)
Andersen, Hans Christian
1990 10557 In this version of Andersen's tale "re-cut, pinned, and stitched by John A. Rowe," the emperor loves shopping and new clothes, but he is still tricked by two rascals. FROM THE PUBLISHER Virginia Lee Burton has added her own irrepressible humor in pictures and design to the tale children have loved for centuries. The Emperor, his court, and clothes -- or lack of them -- are ridiculous as only Hans Christian Andersen can make them. The whole is a delightful concoction. SYNOPSIS This wonderful gift for the whole family features a book with illustrations by the likes of Maurice Sendak, Quentin Blake, and William Joyce, and a CD with the voices of Madonna, Harrison Ford, Robin Williams, and a host of other celebrities. Royalty proceeds from this retelling of the classic fairy tale will benefit the Starbright Foundation, a charity for children's illness.

LITTLE MERMAID AND OTHER FAIRY TALES
Andersen, Hans Christian
1993 1292 ABOUT THE BOOK Little Mermaid and Other Fairy Tales ANNOTATION Presents "The Little Mermaid," "The Tinder Box," "Great Claus and Little Claus," and "The Swineherd." FROM THE PUBLISHER The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen have delighted readers for generations with their originality, whimsy, and humorous treatment of such human foibles as vanity, snobbery, and greed. This collection of some of the author's most popular tales includes, among other stories, "The Little Mermaid," the story of a mermaid princess who falls in love with a human; "Great Claus and Little Claus," an account of a clever young man who turns a series of misfortunes into a fortune; as well as the tales of "The Ugly Duckling," "The Red Shoes," "Thumbelina," "The Emperor's New Clothes," and many more. FROM THE CRITICS School Library Journal Gr 4-7-Philip has collected and reexamined the translations of 17 of the author's stories that run the gamut from the overexposed "The Little Mermaid" to the virtually unknown "The Beetle." The retellings are smooth, offering Andersen's trademark colloquial charm, ironic humor, and painful observations balanced with spiritual aspirations. The book is lavishly designed with gold-tipped pages, thick paper, plenty of white space, patterned borders, and a number of full-colored plates for every tale. The most effective illustrations meld the natural elements-a toad or a bowl of fruit-with fantastically patterned and intensely colored borders. However, the pictures are occasionally overdesigned and overwhelm the simpler story lines. A splendid gift item for fans of Andersen or an additional purchase for library collections.
