With 2pp publisher's catalogue bound in at end. The first English edition of Andersen's 'Eventyr' was published by Pickering as 'Danish Fairy Tales and Legends' in 1846. The fourteen tales contained therein were translated by Mrs. Howitt. In 1852 the scarce second edition appeared, containing forty-five tales and at the time the sole complete collection in English. The translations were made from the original Danish and not from any of the later German versions. Enhanced by Heath Robinson's inimitable illustrations, this edition comprises a verbatim reprint of the fourteen tales of the 1846 edition and the remaining thirty-one tales of the second edition of 1852. AN ELEGANT COPY OF A VERY SCARCE EDITION.
