Hans Andersen's fairy tales: Volume 2PREFACE present volume is the second of the selected stories from Hans Andersen. To- JLL gether the books include what, out of a larger number, are the best for children's use. The story-telling activity of this inimitable genius covered a period of more than forty years. Besides these shorter juvenile tales, there are a few which deserve to survive. " The Ice Maiden " is a stand- ard, if not a classic, and "The Sandhills of Jut- land " was pronounced by Ruskin the most perfect story that he knew. It adds a charm to the little stories of these two volumes to know that the genial author traveled widely for a man of his time and everywhere was urged to tell the tales himself. This he did with equal charm in the kitchens of the humble and in the courts and palaces of nobles. As was said in the preface to the first volume, wherever there are children to read, the stories of Hans Christian Andersen will be read and loved.

Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades.

We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
