Small octavo original blind-stamped blue cloth gilt all edges gilt. Housed in a custom clamshell box. $17000.First edition of the extraordinarily rare first translation into English of Hans Christian Andersen's stories with four hand-colored plates in original cloth.""Wonderful Stories for Children was the first translation into English of the 'modern' fairy tales of Andersen although his stories had been appearing in his native Denmark since 1835 During an early visit to Britain he met Charles Dickens and befriended Mary Howitt the author of a number of natural history books for children Due to her meeting with Andersen she conceived the idea of translating his stories then almost totally unknown in Britain actually learning Danish to enable her to do this"" Quayle 74-6. Because of the popularity of Andersen's tales in England three separate translations were published in 1846: ""Mrs. Howitt's was the best of these and was greeted with a chorus of praise from all the leading literary journals"" Muir 106. ""The earliest collections in Danish of Andersen's tales are of the utmost rarity; and the English translations in 1846 and 1847 are almost as rare"" Muir 52. ""Andersen's work was immediately naturalized into English children's literature and was the second great element after Grimm in the revival of public enthusiasm for fairy tale and fantasy"" Carpenter & Prichard 22. This important work contains ten of Andersen's tales including ""The Naughty Boy"" ""Tommelise"" ""The Rose-Elf"" and ""The Constant Tin Soldier.""

184727525New York: Wiley & Putnam 1847. Very good. First illustrated American edition published only a year after the UK first of the first translated collection into English of Andersen's fairy tales with three of four plates. Preceded only by a Ticknor edition consisting of English sheets and a Wiley & Putnam edition issued without illustrations making this the first illustrated American edition. This copy lacks the third of four plates; however other known copies of this edition lack the same plate leading to the possibility that since the plates were supplied from the English edition there may have been fewer copies of this plate. Folktale historian Jack Zipes considers this collection a turning point for the English fairy tale: "From this point on the fairy tale flowered in many different forms and colors and expanded its social discourse." 5.75'' x 4.5''. Original gilt-stamped green pictorial cloth. Illustrated with 3 of 4 full-page color plates. Author's name misspelled on the title page as it is on the 1846 first edition. Notable wear to spine extremities and slight cover soil joints cracked but holding. Moderate foxing to text. Green still vivid. Wiley & Putnam unknown
