Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish storyteller, was born
in 1805. Although he was the son of a poor shoemaker, he
longed to make his living by writing. After many struggles,
he became known as a poet, but today it is his fairy tales that
are best loved. Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and brother
Wilhelm Carl published their first collection of folk and fairy
tales, collected from all over Germany, in 1812. Today, their
stories are part of a heritage of folk and fairy tales shared
across borders and languages. Editor Nicola Baxter has written or
compiled over three hundred titles. Cathie
Shuttleworth was trained in calligraphy, heraldry and
illumination, but her real love is illustrating children's books.
