The Snow Queen
Summary
Audible's 2014 Narrator of the Year Julia Whelan performs one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved fairy tales, The Snow Queen. This classic tale is a fantastical fable of two dear friends - one of whom goes astray and is literally lost to the north woods, while the other undertakes an epic journey to rescue him. This charming, strange, and wonderful story is a timeless allegory about growing up and the challenges of staying true to one's self, and it served as the wintry inspiration for the blockbuster hit Frozen.

Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales
Summary
Brought to life by Academy Award®-winning actor F. Murray Abraham and an ensemble cast of narrators, and featuring original music by Michael Bacon, this collection contains Hans Christian Andersenâs most beloved fairy tales, as well as a selection of lesser-known favorites. Unlike the Brothers Grimm, who collected and retold folklore and fairy tales, Hans Christian Andersen adopted the most ancient literary forms and distilled them into a genre that was uniquely his own. His fairy tales are remarkable for their sense of fantasy, power of description, and vivid imagination. They are like no others written before or since. Recognizing the literary merit of Andersen's own simple colloquial language, Erik Haugaard has remained faithful to the original text in the translation from Danish to English. Listeners will rediscover Hans Christian Andersen's best-known fairy tales, and find new favorites. Stories: The Princess and the Pea Thumbelina The Little Mermaid The Emperor's New Clothes The Steadfast Tin Soldier The Wild Swans The Nightingale The Ugly Duckling The Snow Queen The Little Match Girl "The Will-o'-the-Wisps Are in Town," said the Bog Witch The Rags The Adventures of a Thistle Luck Can Be Found in a Stick The Days of the Week Cast: F.

Malle Hannes
Summary
De dochter van de koning besloot om met de man te trouwen die zich het beste kon uitdrukken. Twee broers, vol hoop en goed voorbereid, gingen op pad om om haar hand te vragen, maar opeens voegde de derde broer, Hannes, zich bij hen. Ze waren verbaasd en lachten hem uit omdat hij nooit zo intelligent kon zijn en zoveel kon weten als zij, en de prinses zou natuurlijk nooit met Malle Hannes trouwen... Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was een Deense schrijver, dichter en kunstenaar. Hij is beroemd om zijn kinderliteratuur, waaronder de geliefde sprookjes "De nieuwe kleeren van den keizer", "De kleine zeemeermin", "De nachtegaal", "De standvastige tinnen soldaat", "De sneeuwkoningin", "Het lelijke jonge eendje" en "Het lucifersmeisje". Zijn boeken zijn vertaald naar elke levende taal, en er is tegenwoordig geen kind of volwassene die niet bekend is met zijn speelse personages. Zijn sprookjes zijn talloze malen bewerkt voor het toneel en het witte doek, met name door Disney in de animatiefilms "De kleine zeemeermin" in 1989 en "Frozen", wat losjes gebaseerd is op "De sneeuwkoningin", in 2013. Dankzij Andersens bijdrage aan kinderliteratuur wordt zijn verjaardag, 2 april, gevierd als Internationale Kinderboekendag.

Les contes d'Andersen
Summary
Le vilain petit canard : Une cane couve ses Åufs, mais à l'éclosion, l'un d'eux, le vilain petit canard, ne ressemble pas à ses frères et sÅurs de couvée. Rejeté de tous, à cause de ce physique différent, il est contraint de quitter sa "famille" et de partir, loin, pour ne plus subir leurs moqueries et leurs coups... La petite sirène : La petite sirène vit sous la mer auprès de son papa, le roi de la mer, de sa grand-mère et de ses cinq sÅurs. Lorsqu'une sirène atteint l'âge de quinze ans, elle est autorisée à nager jusqu'à la surface pour contempler le monde extérieur. Lorsque la petite sirène atteint enfin cet âge, elle se rend à son tour à la surface où elle aperçoit un navire avec un beau prince (humain) de son âge. La petite fille aux allumettes : Des flocons de neige couvraient sa longue chevelure blonde. De toutes les fenêtres brillaient des lumières : de presque toutes les maisons sortait une délicieuse odeur, celle de l'oie, qu'on rôtissait pour le festin du soir : c'était la Saint-Sylvestre. Cela lui faisait arrêter ses pas errants... Le costume neuf de l'empereur : Il y a plusieurs années, vivait un empereur qui aimait tellement les costumes neufs, qu'il dépensait tout son argent pour être bien habillé. Il ne se souciait pas de ses soldats, ni du théâtre, et n'aimait pas aller se promener dans la forêt ; tout ce qui lui importait, c'était de se montrer dans ses habits neufs. Il avait un costume pour chaque jour de la semaine et tandis qu'on dit habituellement d'un roi qu'il est au conseil, on disait toujours de lui : "L'empereur est dans sa garde-robe !"... La bergère et le ramoneur : Descendant de leur cadre, un ramoneur aime une bergère et hante le sommeil du roi. Celui-ci alerte sa police et poursuit les amoureux avec une machine infernale ayant la forme d'une armure géante. Dans la ville basse où il n'y a ni soleil, ni oiseaux, le ramoneur est livré aux fauves.

Le rossignol
Summary
Le rossignol et l'Empereur de Chine est un conte d'Hans Christian Andersen.

Le siège de l'empereur est en or... C'est à ce monde artificiel que le rossignol est censé s'adapter. Mais le conte est aussi une métaphore : nul ne peut s'approprier, même artificiellement, un talent qu'il ne possède pas...

Hans Christian Andersen's Complete Fairy Tales
Summary
This book contains the selected Andersenâs best fairy tales and stories in audio format. Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales, a literary genre he so mastered that he himself has become as mythical as the tales he wrote. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories â called eventyrs, or "fantastic tales" â express themes that transcend age and nationality. During his lifetime, he was acclaimed for having delighted children worldwide and was feted by royalty. Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. They have inspired motion pictures, plays, ballets, and animated films. Let's bring the best of Anderson to life with this audiobook edition.

Duimelijntje
Summary
Een vrouw wilde een kind, maar wist niet hoe ze dat aan moest pakken, dus vroeg ze een heks om hulp. De heks gaf haar een gerstzaadje en vertelde haar om dit te planten. Nauwelijks had ze dit gedaan of er groeide een grote tulp uit. Toen deze openklapte ontdekte de vrouw een piepklein meisje, niet groter dan haar duim. Ze noemde haar Duimelijntje. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was een Deense schrijver, dichter en kunstenaar. Hij is beroemd om zijn kinderliteratuur, waaronder de geliefde sprookjes "De nieuwe kleeren van den keizer", "De kleine zeemeermin", "De nachtegaal", "De standvastige tinnen soldaat", "De sneeuwkoningin", "Het lelijke jonge eendje" en "Het lucifersmeisje". Zijn boeken zijn vertaald naar elke levende taal, en er is tegenwoordig geen kind of volwassene die niet bekend is met zijn speelse personages. Zijn sprookjes zijn talloze malen bewerkt voor het toneel en het witte doek, met name door Disney in de animatiefilms "De kleine zeemeermin" in 1989 en "Frozen", wat losjes gebaseerd is op "De sneeuwkoningin", in 2013.

De nieuwe kleeren van den keizer
Summary
Er was eens een keizer die maar oog had voor één ding: zijn kleren. Hij gaf al zijn geld uit aan kleren en had voor elk moment van de dag en elke gelegenheid een ander kostuum. Op een dag arriveerden er twee dieven in het dorp, die zich voordeden als wevers die de meeste prachtige en verfijnde stoffen konden maken, met de wonderbaarlijke eigenschap dat ze alleen zichtbaar waren voor diegenen die hun werk goed deden. Dit was het perfecte aanbod voor onze koning, die meteen een bestelling plaatste. Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was een Deense schrijver, dichter en kunstenaar. Hij is beroemd om zijn kinderliteratuur, waaronder de geliefde sprookjes "De nieuwe kleeren van den keizer", "De kleine zeemeermin", "De nachtegaal", "De standvastige tinnen soldaat", "De sneeuwkoningin", "Het lelijke jonge eendje" en "Het lucifersmeisje".

Cuentos de Hans Christian Andersen (Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen)
Summary
¿Qué niño no quisiera transportarse al mundo de Hans Christian Andersen? Está poblado de escarabajos presumidos, princesas de verdadero abolengo, y niñitas tan, pero tan pequeñitas, que se acunan fácilmente dentro de media cáscara de nuez. "El Escarabajo" se marcha de su cómoda guarida porque piensa que su gente no lo aprecia. Sus aventuras le demuestran que no hay como el hogar, dulce hogar. En "La Princesa y el Guisante", una joven no puede dormir en paz porque le han puesto un guisante debajo del colchón. Gente malvada roba a la pequeña "Pulgarcilla" que logra, después de largas peripecias, unirse a su prÃncipe. En Español. Long beloved by children all around the world, the stories of Hans Christian Andersen are filled with optimism, wit, and subtle irony. This delightful collection includes "The Beetle," "The Princess and the Pea," and "Thumbellina." The first story tells of an egotistical bug who travels the globe, only to find there's no place like home. In "The Princess and the Pea," the title character proves she is of royal blood when a pea placed under her mattress keeps her awake all night. And in the final tale, Thumbellina - a girl so tiny she fits inside half a walnut shell - overcomes innumerable hardships to live happily ever after with her charming prince. In Spanish.

Andersen's Fairy Tales (AmazonClassics Edition)
Summary
Uniting universal themes with a wonderfully personal vision of the world, Hans Christian Andersen found magic in the landscape of childhood. His talking animals and living toys shine a sparkling light on the strange wisdom of innocence and the deceptive nature of adulthood. These stories have now been adapted into countless classic films (including The Little Mermaid, The Red Shoes, and Frozen - which was based on âThe Snow Queenâ) and have become part of our everyday speech, such as when we talk about âugly ducklingsâ and âthe emperorâs new clothes.â Transcending generations, language, and nationality, these stories continue to delight and enlighten us in equal measure. Revised edition: Previously published as Andersenâs Fairy Tales, this edition of Andersenâs Fairy Tales (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
