Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author whose fairy tales, including The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling, remain among the most translated and beloved works in children’s literature. Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve (1685-1755) was a French novelist whose 1740 tale of Beauty and the Beast laid the foundation for the story’s many later retellings. Both classic texts have been reimagined in this edition with striking artwork and interactive design from MinaLima, the studio celebrated for its work on the Harry Potter films..
