Stories from Hans Andersen
Stories from Hans Andersen is a 1911 London children's fairy-tale collection by Hodder & Stoughton, translated from Danish and illustrated by Edmund Dulac for young readers. Its plates are misty, muted-colour scenes in which slender figures in flowing gowns, a crowned figure at a canopied bed, and a sea creature beneath pale coral suggest how a designer might build a mood of quiet enchantment with restrained palettes, soft washes and elegant silhouettes.
