Cuentos de Hadas para niños II (Trébol de oro / Cuentos escogidos)

by Andersen Hans Christian

Segundo volumen en la Colección Trébol destinado a reunir los cuentos más célebres y hermosos del escritor danés Hans Christian Andersen.

[StrictlySequential ArtNarrative · Rating 2 out of 5]

Each story was translated for this book by a different person representing a sort of pan-English

These stories just didn't jive with my fairy-tale sensibilities. They were either jammed with fluff, didn't make sense to children (or me) or too long thus circuitous.

The artist and the translator couldn't have collaborated because the details of the art often conflicted with those in the story.

An interesting collection of Hans Christian Andersen's most well-known fairy tales. Each story starts very positive and joyful but most of them have an unhappy or despairing ending; I think this why some stories kept me thinking after I finished.

My top 5 tales:
1. The little mermaid
2. The Emperor's New Clothes
3. The Red Shoes
4. The Last Dream of the Old Oak
5. The Flying Trunk

If you want to take a deep dive into the Little Mermaid meaning and myths, I recommend this video.

A diferencia de su libro hermano lleno de cuentos y relatos clásicos este, en mi opinión cargaba los menos conocidos y los más raros. Claro que también tenía conocidos y algunos interesantes. Pero en su mayoría, eran menos conocidos y hasta en mi opinión , diseñados para ser lecciones de vida o de miedo para niños desobedientes, lo cual es un poco perturbador. Ojo no hay que olvidar que eran otros tiempo y así era la disciplina, con eso mente, serían solo metafóricamente profundos.

Haven't read hans christian Anderson for years. It's interesting how these fairytales have been stretched out by others and manipulated. Some were great, others were really chauvinistic and dull.

Great narration. Andersen was so weird.

Some... very interesting stories. I can't remember Volume 1 having that much violence. Felt more like I was listening to a few Grimms' fairy tales instead.

Okej så del två av HC Andersens sagor var betydligt tristare än det första bandet. Några sagor kände jag igen och det var väl okej att läsa, men det dök upp allt fler sagor om något objekt som var så trista att jag inte kunde göra annat än skumma. Som tur är började en del sagor dyka upp på storytel så jag lyssnade på några av dom. Jag börjar mer och mer misstänka att HC Andersen inte är något för mig (men tacksam för att han sådde frö i huvudet på så många som faktiskt gjorde och gör intressanta saker av hans sagor…)

When I was little, my mum would read me stories from this book when I was going to sleep and too tired to protest that I wanted The Classic Treasury of Hans Christian Andersen because that was the one with the pictures :P
