Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Ice Maiden and Other Tales" is a captivating collection of fairy tales written by the renowned Danish author, Hans Christian Andersen. Each story is filled with enchanting characters, magical settings, and timeless themes that continue to resonate with readers of all ages. In "The Ice Maiden," the titular character is a mysterious and alluring figure who lives in the icy heart of the mountains. When a young man named Rudy encounters her, he is both fascinated and terrified by her icy beauty. As he becomes entangled in her spell, he must face a series of trials and challenges to break free from her grip. The tale explores themes of love, courage, and the power of human will. "The Little Match Girl" is a poignant and heart-wrenching story of a poor young girl who sells matches on the streets during a bitterly cold New Year's Eve. With each match she lights, she glimpses beautiful visions of warmth and comfort, providing her temporary solace from her harsh reality. This touching tale reminds readers of the importance of empathy and compassion for those less fortunate. "The Emperor's New Clothes" is a delightful and humorous tale that satirizes vanity and the desire for external validation. In this story, two clever weavers convince a vain emperor that they have created a suit of clothes that can only be seen by those who are wise and worthy. The emperor, eager to prove his intelligence, pretends to see the non-existent clothes, until a child's innocent honesty exposes the truth. Other enchanting tales in the collection include "The Little Mermaid," "The Nightingale," "The Princess and the Pea," and "The Ugly Duckling." Each story explores universal themes of love, transformation, self-discovery, and the complexities of human emotions. Hans Christian Andersen's storytelling prowess shines in this collection, as he weaves moral lessons and profound insights into imaginative and whimsical narratives. His vivid descriptions of fantastical worlds and compelling characters transport readers to magical realms where dreams and reality intertwine. "The Ice Maiden and Other Tales" continues to captivate audiences worldwide, inspiring numerous adaptations in literature, theater, and film. Andersen's ability to touch the hearts and minds of readers through his timeless tales solidifies his place as one of the most celebrated and beloved storytellers in literary history."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beloved by generations of children and adults around the world for tales such as "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Emperor's New Clothes," Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) revolutionized children's literature. Although others before him had collected and retold folk stories and fairy tales, Andersen was the first to create the stories himself, instilling a previously stilted genre with new humor, wisdom, and pathos. Drawing on letters, diaries, and other original sources (many never before translated from the Danish), Wullschlager shows in this compelling, extensively researched biography how Andersen's writings—darker and more diverse than previously recognized—reflected the complexities of his life, a far cry from the "happily ever after" of a fairy tale. As we follow in his footsteps from Golden Age Copenhagen to the princely courts of Germany and the villas of southern Italy, Andersen becomes a figure every bit as fascinating as a character from one of his stories—a gawky, self-pitying, and desperate man, but also one of the most gifted storytellers the world has ever known.

Download or read book Princesses Behaving Badly written by Linda Rodriguez McRobbie and published by Quirk Books. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These 30 true stories of take-charge princesses from around the world and throughout history offer a different kind of bedtime story . . . Pop history meets a funny, feminist point-of-view in these illustrated tales of “royal terrors who make modern gossip queens seem as demure as Snow White” (New York Post). You think you know her story. You’ve read the Brothers Grimm, you’ve watched the Disney cartoons, and you cheered as these virtuous women lived happily ever after. But real princesses didn’t always get happy endings—and had very little in common with Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, or Ariel. Featuring illustrations by Wicked cover artist, Douglas Smith, Princesses Behaving Badly tells the true stories of famous (Marie Antoinette; Lucrezia Borgia)—and some not-so-famous—princesses throughout history and around the world, including: • Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe, a Nazi spy. • Empress Elisabeth of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who slept wearing a mask of raw veal. • Princess Olga of Kiev, who slaughtered her way to sainthood. • Princess Lakshmibai, who waged war on the battlefield with her toddler strapped to her back. Some were villains, some were heroes, some were just plain crazy. But none of these princesses felt constrained to our notions of “lady-like” behavior.

Download or read book The Ice Maiden's Tale written by Lisa Preziosi and published by Xist Publishing. This book was released on 2017-05-30 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every town has an old lady all the children just know is a witch. When Johanna and Casper must spend the afternoon at her house, there’s nothing to do, except listen to a story. While the siblings await their mother’s return from the hospital where she’s visiting their ailing father, Mrs. Kinder reads them a story of adventure, magic and music. Mrs. Kinder’s mysterious golden book tells an intertwined tale of two young men—the sensitive Sculptor who carves a beautiful woman from ice and the thieving Sorcerer searching for a spell that will bring the statue to life. The story twists and turns, from the Frozen Forest, to the land of the Lemon Trees, to the home of the Swamp Witch, as the Sculptor’s and Sorcerer’s adventures circle each other. Their inevitable confrontation reveals buried memories that force each of them to confront the true cost of love and redemption. The Ice Maiden's Tale the perfect story-within-a-story with magic, adventure and romance reminiscent of The Princess Bride for a new generation of readers. Excerpt: Mrs. Kinder settled herself in the chair across from the children and cracked open the book. She adjusted her spectacles, ever so slightly, then caressed the page with her wrinkled fingers. “In our world, when magic happens outside of a storybook, we call it a miracle. And miracles are considered so rare and special that lifetimes can go by without so much as a hint of one. But there are faraway places where our kind of miracles are as common as blades of grass in an open field. In the northern region of one of these worlds, in the top far east corner, past green forests, swamps, lakes, and even an ocean, there lived a young artist named Gabriel.” .... “This isn’t a very good story.” Casper complained. "Casper!” Johanna exclaimed in embarrassment. Mrs. Kinder laughed. “That’s because I’m not even at the story part yet, but it’s high time we get started. This story doesn’t begin, the way you think it might and the way most stories do. It doesn’t begin with a big adventure or a journey, or even pirate treasure. It starts with a tiny choice—one that seems unremarkable at the time, but that changes the course of destiny. One crisp morning, our Gabriel decided to search for firewood—and it’s with that simple decision that our tale begins.”
