The Complete Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales | 
pickThis book was fun but kind of boring at some times. Some of the stories dragged on too long. But it was nice when the shorter stories came. It was a nice read for during the day when you have some quiet. Starting the book is easier than finishing. Overall I like the writing style and how short the stories were.
Way back when I was just a weeble and starting out on my book-life, I discovered a volume of HCA. I remember crouching in the library aisle and reading The Little Match Girl. I felt the story deeply and remember how it stirred within me an odd commingling of sorrow and beauty--a mixture I'd never felt before. And I think that one story gave me a new respect and awe for what literature can impart. #somethingforsept #SeptemberPhotoChallenge Booktear
