Finished my buddyread with @ju.ca.no today... Another gorgeous edition by #Minalima ...

Within this edition most of Andersen's popular fairy tales are combined with gorgeous drawings or other interactive extras..

Hope you liked it aswell @ju.ca.no ? What was your favourite tale?

JazzFeathers I've seen many of your photos of these fairy tale books. The are lovely. 5y
HotMessJess We visited their pop up shop around the corner from The Cursed Child in London. I bought a GORGEOUS print and I am now obsessed with them and all their work! 5y
Sarah83 @JazzFeathers it is really interesting, how illustrations change and influence the way you read a book... In my opinion they do a great job, since they change our minds from the Disney versions (even if I love them) to the illustrations older times would have thought about. If you like to take a look: https://store.minalima.com/house-of-minalima/ 5y

Sarah83 @HotMessJess they really do a great job 🤩 5y
HotMessJess They really do! I was so impressed with everything from their shop! 5y
Sarah83 @HotMessJess which print did you buy? 5y
Sarah83 @HotMessJess looks awesome 🤩 5y
ju.ca.no I liked most of them😊 what about you? What did you think about the last six chapters? 5y
Sarah83 @ju.ca.no I know remember, why I didn't like fairy tales when I was little, they are so brutal and often pretty sad. 😑 5y
ju.ca.no @Sarah83 very sad indeed... I remember the story of the Zinnsoldat very well from my childhood, it is one of the saddest stories! But I also like it in a way? even though they are often sad they are sometimes sweet and beautiful as well:) Däumelinchen for example which is very cute! Die roten schuhe I don‘t like that much though, it‘s pretty religious... 5y
Sarah83 That's so true. 🙄 Die Nachtigall was really one of my favourites. 🤩 5y
Kasie Such pretty books! One day I will have a library full of pretty books. 5y
ju.ca.no @Sarah83 it also had some of the prettiest illustrations😍😍😍 5y
RealBooks4ever So pretty! 💜 5y

How I love the illustrations... Minalima is such a great artist. 💓 Finished the first six fairy tales now and @ju.ca.no and I can read along now 💓

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks ❤️❤️❤️ 5y
ju.ca.no Which one did you like best so far? And what did you think of them in general? Did you read them all for the first time? 5y
Sarah83 @ju.ca.no I can't remember, that I read any of them, when I was little. I know what they are about but not the details. Das hässliche Entlein is the one I like the most. And I love die Nachtigall. 💓 5y

Sarah83 @ju.ca.no What about you? 5y
ju.ca.no @Sarah83 I love die Nachtigal - especially the illustrations☺️ die kleine Meerjungfrau is just really sad, like a lot of Andersen fairytales... I don‘g like that in das Feuerzeug the soldier just kills the witch without a reason and gets rewarded for it.... (edited) 5y
Sarah83 @ju.ca.no I thought just the same about the soldier... 😮 The illustrations are so gorgeous. 💓 5y
ju.ca.no @Sarah83 yes😍 let‘s hope they will publish many more books😍 5y
Sarah83 @ju.ca.no this would be pretty great 😍💖 5y

Do you know the stories already? I‘ve read them all before and a few I still know from my childhood.

Minalima illustrations and interactive designs are as beautiful as always😍

tpixie Those covers and illustrations are magnificent!!!! ♥️♥️♥️ 5y

#EmojiMadness Day 23: Look at this gorgeous 🧜🏼‍♀️ book cover of Little Gestalten‘s fairly recently published illustrated fairy tales of Andersen. 11 fairy tales illustrated by 11 different artists. This is a gorgeous title.

Kalalalatja Pretty, pretty, pretty! 6y
GatheringBooks @Kalalalatja the little@mermaid is illustrated by francesca sanna - but all the other stories are equally glorious and riveting. the art in these stories is so amazingly diverse. 6y
