The most beautiful fairy tales by H.C. Andersen. The life of Hans Christian Andersen reads like a fairy tale itself—he counted Charles Dickens among his friends and admirers, and European princes valued his company. Through determination, talent, fortunate circumstances, and an overflowing imagination, he carved his name into world literature, rising from impoverished beginnings. A fairy tale realm without Andersen would be severely impoverished, lacking characters such as the Snow Queen, the Princess and the Pea, Thumbelina, and the Little Match Girl, as well as many inanimate objects that he brought to life: silver shillings and sewing needles, foremost among them his steadfast tin soldier. These motifs have inspired generations of artists. The best among them are found in this collection, featuring great names like Kay Nielsen and Arthur Rackham, the Swede Einar Nerman, and the Ukrainian avant-gardist Georgy Narbut, along with many others, including the eccentric Tom Seidmann-Freud, the legendary German silhouette artist Lotte Reiniger, and the Prague painter and designer Josef Palecek.

Výber z rozprávok bratov Grimmovcov obsahuje nielen tie populárne, ako sú Janko a Marienka alebo Sedem zhavranelých bratov, ale aj menej známe príbehy, napríklad Pani Zima alebo Pretancované črievičky.

Čo však v tejto knihe zaujme na prvý pohľad, sú prekrásne celostránkové ilustrácie.

Erben compiled and wrote A Bouquet based on his studies of Slavic folktales and folk songs. First published in 1853, it is dotted with murder and mayhem : graves opening and the dead walking the earth, the animate becoming the inanimate and vice versa, ogres and monsters of lake and wood, human transformations reminiscent of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Written as ballads, Marcela Sulak's new translation perfectly captures the cadence and rhythm in an English that is fresh and energetic. Through the years A Bouquet has come to be regarded as a masterpiece and wellspring of inspiration to artists of all stripes, including Antonín Dvořák, who composed a series of symphonic poems to some of these tales. Of the many illustrators who have contributed to the various editions that have appeared over the past century and a half, Alén Diviš's artwork is generally considered the most powerful. This edition also includes Erben's own notes explaining the origins of many of these tales.
