This review is from: The Ice-Maiden: and Other Tales. (Kindle Edition)
It's a quaint little book with some old stories in it, not a bad read, although it isn't Hans Christian Andersen's classic fairy tales.
Includes the following stories: Little Rudy:The life story of little Rudy, who was kissed (read: nearly killed) by the ice-maiden when just a child. She tries to get Rudy back, Rudy tries to live his life in happiness. The Butterfly: A very short tale of a butterfly who wishes to marry a flower. The Psyche: Another short story, this time of an artist who is so overcome by a maiden's beauty that he makes her a work of art. The Snail and the Rose-Tree: Short yet again, this one is a philosophical musing upon the life of a snail versus that of a rose-tree. If you're looking for HC Andersen's fairy tales, you should check out Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen, which has more of them than you've ever dreamed.

This review is from: The Ice-Maiden: and Other Tales. (Kindle Edition)
I very much liked the story of the Ice Maiden. The other tales were OK. I am not fond of short-short stories. I can see why the short stories are not part of the classic fairy tale canon. They are good stories, just not of the same quality as the stories which became part of the accepted fairy tale canon.
Since this edition is free, it is worth downloading and seeing if you and/or the kid(s) like these stories.

A change in him, had certainly taken place, in the cleft of the glacier, in the wonderful cold world; where, according to the belief of the Swiss peasant, the souls of the damned are incarcerated until the day of judgment.
