The Frog Prince shows the world its true face. Not just written for children, but for adults who are looking for enlightenment and meaning. The hidden knowledge of generations is coming more and more to light. Fairytales are messages from your ancestors, the content of which is not immediately apparent. The Frog Prince, for example, shows the meaningful steps that individuals can take towards a freer and more successful life and a peaceful society, with surprising wisdom that explains our origins and offers solutions for the future. The book builds a bridge between cultural tradition and wisdom, combined with the scientific knowledge of modern times.

This definitive collection of work from Hans Christian Andersen—one of the immortals of world literature—not only includes his own notes to his stories but is the only version available in trade paperback that presents Andersen's fairy tales exactly as he collected them in the original Danish edition of 1874. Recognizing the literary merit of Andersen's own simple colloquial language, which Victorian translators and their imitators very often altered to sentimentalize or vulgarize, translator Erik Haugaard has remained faithful to the original text. The fairy tales Hans Christian Andersen wrote, such as "The Snow Queen," "The Ugly Duckling," "The Red Shoes," and "The Nightingale," are remarkable for their sense of fantasy, power of description, and acute sensitivity, and they are like no others written before or since. Unlike the Brothers Grimm, who collected and retold folklore, Andersen adopted the most ancient literary forms of the fairy tale and the folktale and distilled them into a genre that was uniquely his own.
