Here is another fairytale book we have illustrated by Ugo Fontana. It's a selection of stories by Hans Christian Andersen introduced by that other wonderful Danish author, Isak Dinesen (this is the pen name of Karen Blixen who also wrote about living in Africa in Out of Africa.) Sandro Nardini shares the illustrating credit. I've always liked the story The Tinderbox (included in this collection) because of the disturbing image of the "dog with eyes as big as teacups".
