—About the book: William Heath Robinson was an English cartoonist and illustrator best known for drawings of ridiculously complicated machines for achieving simple tasks, and in the UK the term “Heath Robinson contraption” was used during WWI in much the same way that “Rube Goldberg Machine” is used today in the US. He first illustrated Hans Christian Andersen’s Danish Fairy Tales and Legends in 1897, and then again in 1913 when he illustrated Anderson’s Fairy Tales, the book on which the Folio Society edition is based. This edition contains 17 of Andersen’s most famous tales’. Robinson’s illustrations are lovely and the book includes 16 colour plates and numerous black & white illustrations.

The Tales… The Marsh King’s Daughter, Tommelise, The Snow Queen (in 7 parts), Elfin-Mount, The Little Mermaid, The Storks, The Nightingale, The Wild Swans, The Real Princess, The Red Shoes, The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Swineherd, The Flying Trunk, The Leaping Match, The Shepherdess and the Chimney-Sweeper, The Ugly Duckling, The Naughty Boy.
