Anglickočeský zrcadlový text pro středně pokročilé. Kniha obsahuje nejznámější pohádky proslulého dánského spisovatele Hanse Christiana Andersena. Tyto Pohádky jsou určeny především starším dětem a dospělým. Andersen v pohádkách oživuje neživé věci a nechává je promlouvat, stejně jako zvířata. Obyčejní lidé a děti jsou v jeho pohádkách často chytřejší než boháči a mocní. Autor využívá svůj smysl pro humor a ironii k zesměšnění špatných lidských vlastností, a tak se čtenáři nejen pobaví, ale jejich morální vlastnosti jsou také posíleny, zejména schopnost empatie. Spisovatelův osobitý styl a poutavá dějová linie pohádek přimějí čtenáře přečíst je jedním dechem.
