About the Author:
Naomi Lewis (1911–2009) was a leading authority on the writing of Hans Christian Andersen. A distinguished children's writer, poet, and much-respected reviewer of children's books, she died in 2009. Emma Chichester Clark is the winner of the Mother Goose Award and has been shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal, the Kurt Maschler Award, and the Blue Peter Book Award. She has illustrated books from authors including Roald Dahl, Michael Morpurgo, and Geraldine McCaughrean. Also the author and illustrator of the popular Blue Kangaroo series, she lives in London.
From School Library Journal:
K-Gr 4—Renowned for her brilliant interpretations of Andersen's tales, Lewis captures both the writer's droll humor and sense of the melancholy in elegant but readable prose. Ten tales are presented here. Some, such as "The Nightingale" and "The Princess and the Pea," are popular classics, while others, such as "The Happy Family" and "Elf Hill," are less familiar. Chichester's illustrations have a dreamy, ethereal quality with soft blues and greens and lots of charming detail. As Lewis stated in her informative introduction, these tales are "jewels," and this book would be an excellent way to introduce a new generation to the genius that was Andersen.—Grace Oliff, Ann Blanche Smith School, Hillsdale, NJ
