Tiny Thumbelina, the Steadfast Tin Soldier, and the Nightingale are just a few of the beloved characters depicted here.
So taken was Mr. Anno with the power of Andersen’s Fairy Tales, that he visited the author’s birthplace many times and credited Andersen with a turning point in his artistic career.

Now available for the first time with Mr. Anno’s delightful notes translated from Japanese to English.
