Read more about the selection in the FAQ. Here are all of Andersens 154 tales, and among the favourites are The Red Shoes, The Mermaid. This selection contains a lot more texts than the 156, Andersen published as fairy tales and stories. Packed with a light-hearted whimsy combined with a mature wisdom they are as entrancing as ever. As one can see in the chronological list of fairy tale collections, the label "told for children" ( fortalte for Børn) disappears after the first 6 booklets, and in 1852 came, after a series of "New fairy tales" ( Nye Eventyr) and Picturebook Without Pictures, the first collection of "stories" ( Historier). The label "stories" refers in the oeuvre of Hans Christian Andersen a movement towards a much more experimental and, in some cases, more realistic style – primarily for adult readers. The selection of fairy tales contains both fairy tales and stories. Genre index About this register Hans Christian Andersen : Fairy tales - 213 titles
