I purchased this book because my daughter requested it for Christmas. She is an avid reader and was extremely thrilled to receive this book. She loves it!!!

The book was in extremely good conditions when it was delivered & the gold tips with the leather binding was great as this looks like an older version of the book like hard back books used to be made that lasted a very long time.
 clumsy translations / great stories November 23, 2007

There are many better translations out there, so there is no excuse to produce something that reads badly. I was disappointed and bought another edition. Mine is being resold on Amazon. I hate these bogus "classics."
The Complete Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales, Deluxe Edition (Literary Classics) September 10, 2007

Excellent edition, however I had hoped to receive one with colour plates rather than the black and white plates. This was my only disappointment. The book was luxuriously bound and beautifully put together. All the stories are there, and it is funny how ones memories can play tricks as I thought the description in the story The Tinder Box described one of the dogs as having 'eyes like saucers' when the book texted 'eyes like teacups' or 'eyes like towers'. I am in no position to argue, but the story still remains magical.
Worth having this in any serious book collection, but as the pages are quite fragile I would suggest avoiding letting children having free run of this in case it gets damaged, perhaps until they are at least about 8 with advanced reading capabilities.
Very Nice. June 27, 2007

The Complete Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales, Deluxe Edition is a very nice book. Of course the fairy tales that we all love are in the book, but the book itself is pretty. I am very happy with it.
