Editorial Reviews
Heather Caldwell, Bookforum
"[The Franks] have stripped away the florid Victorianism of the previous translations...[and] have widened the scope of Andersen's oeuvre."

Review
Vogue : "A beautiful new translation."

Newsweek : "The Franks edition finally sets the stories straight and... clarifies the tale most often told wrong-Andersens own life story." --Elise Soukup

Minneapolis Star-Tribune : "A superb book of Andersen's tales... it will be difficult for other commemorative editions to match this publication." --Jack Zipes

"This is the real Andersen, restored to life, in the flavor of Danish. . .here at last you will find him." --Garrison Keillor

"Adults and children alike need the actual Andersen, here made brilliantly available by the Franks." --Harold Bloom, editor of Stories and Poems for Extremely Intelligent Children of All Ages.

"[The Franks] have stripped away the florid Victorianism of the previous translations...[and] have widened the scope of Andersen's oeuvre." --Heather Caldwell, Bookforum
