Less known fairytales and stories by Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen has written a number of fairytales that have become common cultural baggage in large parts of the world.
|
|
The Emperor's New Clothes (1837), The Little Mermaid (1837), The Steadfast Tin Soldier (1838), The Ugly Duckling (1843) and some ten or twenty other titles are the unofficial Andersen canon.
There are many reasons why these fairytales are known and loved, but it might be an idea to try and read, and in a school context to try and work with, some of the less known fairytales and stories. For that purpose, we have compiled a list of suggestions for fairytales and stories that you could work with in school from different perspectives and at different levels.
