Hans Christian Andersen (1805 – 1875) was a Danish author whose enchanting fairy tales are among the most widely read stories in the world. “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Princess and the Pea” are three of his most famous tales.

The animated Andersen Fairy Tales site features three narrated fairy tales (“Real Princess,” “Leaping Match” and “The Emperor’s New Suit”), games, and a biography of Hans Christian Andersen.

Gutenberg: Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales: Second Series
Illustrated by Edna F. Hart, and published in 1915, this Gutenberg e-text has twenty-nine of Andersen’s most beloved stories, including The Red Shoes, The Little Mermaid, The Emperor’s New Clothes, and The Real Princess (also known as the Princess and The Pea.) I’ve included it because I love the original illustrations. There is also a First Series with The Ugly Duckling, and Little Thumbelina here.
