The 30 fairytales have been selected by Jackie Wullschlager, author of the critically acclaimed Andersen biography. Naturally, the most famous classics will be included, but lesser-known fairytales have also been included such as "The Old House" and "The Story of a Mother", "The Ice Maiden", "The Wind Tells About Valdemar Daae and His Daughters", and "Auntie Toothache". The acclaimed translation is the work of Tiina Nunnally, who in the preface writes: "It was one of the most challenging projects I have ever undertaken". The book features a short Andersen biography by Wullschlager and is illustrated with Andersen's own paper cuts.
