About the book
This book collects ten Andersen tales in their original versions, translated directly from the Danish: Thumbelina, The Flaxen, The Nightingale, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Little Match Girl, The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep, Five in a Pea Pod, The Little Mermaid, and The Ugly Duckling. This is a special, large-format edition that includes works by Nordic, Colombian, Mexican, Ecuadorian, and Brazilian illustrators. Each of them offered a very personal version of the tale they illustrated; these are ten works of art in diverse styles and techniques, representing a tribute to the work of the immortal Hans Christian Andersen.

About Fine Art Printing
These are those created with techniques and materials that use the most rigorous criteria today to achieve an impression with museum longevity.
The papers are 100% cotton. The inks, which are made of mineral pigments, are not soluble in water, therefore they do not fade. And the color fidelity, by using RGB, is much greater than common printing.
A work printed in fine art, therefore, deserves to be signed and numbered, and can last a lifetime.
