The Classic Treasury of Hans Christian Andersen

4 reviews
Hans Christian Andersen, Christian Birmingham

Running Press Kids, 2002

A BEAUTIFUL TREASURY OF MAGICAL STORIES!
I have grown up loving fairy tales, and I collect books of fairy tales. I happened to be at [the store] one day, sometime before Christmas, and I noticed Christian Birmingham's book of Charles Dickens' classic "A Christmas Carol". I looked at it for a while, surprised that I haven't seen any of this illustrator's previous work. I continued to look around and I found "The Classic Treasury Of Hans ...

The Annotated Hans Christian Andersen

7 reviews
Hans Christian Andersen

W. W. Norton, 2007

Stories Which Appeal On Many Levels
Many people dismiss Hans Christian Anderson as a mere author of now outdated children's stories. Anderson, as this volume of his annotated stories makes clear, was a poet, folklorist, historian, and commentator as well as a children's writer. In fact, many of his stories were written for adults, not children, and even those aimed at the young have side passages and comments which were meant for ...

Hans Christian Andersen: The Complete Fairy Tales and Stories (Anchor Folktale Library)

6 reviews
Hans Christian Andersen, Erik Christian Haugaard

Anchor, 1983

The best there is
It is a pity that most people only know Hans Christian Andersen for a few of his "easiest" fairy tales. What springs to mind for almost everyone is stories like "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Ugly Duckling" and perhaps "The Snowqueen". But Hans Christian Andersen has written a vast array of profoundly touching tales. In Odense, Denmark the Danish actor Troels Møller said (two years ago in a ...

Arabic-English Dictionary: The Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic

56 reviews
Hans Wehr

Spoken Language Services, 1993

Covers an ample range of vocabulary
I have found this dictionary to be very complete as I have used it in my study of Classical Arabic. It includes obscure literary words as well as modern technical vocabulary. The words are listed by root, which can be frustrating for beginners. However, anyone who intends to advance beyond the most rudimentary tourist Arabic will have to learn all about Arabic roots anyway. After even one ...

The Paradise Snare (Star Wars: The Han Solo Trilogy, Book 1)

Spectra, 1997

the perfect launch for our favorite star wars pilot!
A.C. Crispin. When I first got this book and saw the author it rang a bell but I couldn't quite place the name. Then I looked inside the jacket and saw that she authored one of my favorite Star Trek novels, Yesterday's Son. As soon as I saw that I became even more hopeful that this was going to be a really good read and I was NOT let down at all! From beginning to end, this book just feels ...

Very Nice.
The Complete Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales, Deluxe Edition is a very nice book. Of course the fairy tales that we all love are in the book, but the book itself is pretty. I am very happy with it.

Hans Christian Andersen

Chronicle Books, 1992

Destined to be a Collectors Item
A superb collection of nine favorite H.C.A. stories (see below), wonderously illustrated with something like a hundred hig-quality reproductions, at least half of which are full-page, drawn from the work of twenty of the greatest artists from the "Golden Age" of children's book illustration (around the turn of the century). The art is simply mind-blowingly beautiful. The tellings themselves are ...

I'll Always Love You
A book I saw when working at the library and thought, someday, I'll need this book. 11 years later I did. Now, it's on a table in my family room, in honor of my father, Nick and yellow lab, Sammy, who both passed early this year, a few months apart and who were best buds.

The Complete Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales

Hans Christian Andersen, Lily Owens

Gramercy, 1993

Not for kids
I first read HCA when I was about 8 and I remember being baffled at their deviation from the standard "fairy tale" formula. They stayed with me however. I bought this edition because I wanted to explore more of his work and I am very glad I did. I have finished about 3/4ths of this volulme and the richness, satire, obersvation, depth, humor and relevance of the themes continue to awe me. It's ...

The Best Starwars Trilogy
This was in my opinion the best starwars trilogy since the first three movies, and the best books in the starwars genera.

The Catholic Church: A Short History (Modern Library Chronicles)

68 reviews
Hans Kung

Modern Library, 2003

Great overview with a lively punch
This book provides a wonderful, short history of the Catholic Church. Kung, a leading dissident priest and theologian, obviously has a few axes to grind - - but, it must be said, his axes are the right ones to grind. Kung builds his story around a series of key moments in the history of the Roman Catholic Church. At each point, the Church faced a choice - - reform in the face of its critics, ...

The Amazing Paper Cuttings of Hans Christian Andersen

4 reviews
Beth Wagner Brust

Sandpiper, 2003

This Book Is A Real Treasure
Like so many Americans, I had no idea HC Andersen was a paper-cutting genius, until reading the series of articles by Ms. Brust in the LA Times. Not to mention that he cut these "amazing" intricate pieces while telling one of his stories to a roomful of listeners at the same time. The book's a treasure in that I feel like I've discovered gold within. Not simply a children's book, it's so ...

I Love Colors! (Hello Reader!, Level 1)

2 reviews

Scholastic Inc., 2001

Great beginning reader
This is one of the best beginning readers I have ever found. I teach first grade and my kids adore this series about a silly dog and all his adventures. This book is a great introduction to color mixing as the dog dips himself into pots of paint. My kids particulrly enjoy the page where he shouts: "Watch out for Rainbow Dog!" and leaps into the wading pool with the baby. Kids will want to read ...

Truth And Method (Continuum Impacts)

9 reviews
Hans-Georg Gadamer, Joel Weinsheimer, ...

Continuum, 2005

Klassisch!
First, Truth and Method is a true classic. Basically, it sees Gadamer revitalise 'nonscientific' truth, i.e. the experience of truth inaccessible to method and irreducible to bare statement. The book itself does have a structure/setting that makes it difficult to get into initially (it is usefully read in tandem with a good commentary eg. Joel Weinsheimer's 'Gadamer's Hermeneutics'), but it is ...

Perigee Trade, 2001

Understand Your Numerology
This is a great book on numerology for several reasons - 1) It's comprehensive and informative. You'll learn everything you wanted to know about the 9 numbers and the master numbers, and what your own numbers are; 2) It's very well-written and easy-to-understand. It's a bit like your typical astrology book; 3) There are very few errors. The only drawback to this book is the layout (including ...

another fantastic chapter of Han Solo's back story!
Once again Crispin delivers a fast paced, fun and informative look at the early years of everyone's favorite Star Wars scoundrel, Han Solo. This one picks up several years after The Paradise Snare.

Adapted from the classic novel by Mary Mapes Dodge, this exciting and intriguing book teaches valuable economics lessons related to scarcity, savings, and altruism. Interwoven throughout the book are three tales of two main characters with one overarching theme of poverty. The first tale revolves around how Hans Brinker and his sister, Gretel, would like to compete in an important ...

Islam: Past, Present and Future

6 reviews
Hans Kung

Oneworld Publications, 2008

Comprehensive, Scholarly, Sympathetic
At first glance, Fr. Hans Kung's mammoth discussion on the dynamic world of Islam seems like a daunting task. Not only is the book rather sizeable, but a glance at the Table of Contents previews Kung's goal for the book: discuss practically everything about Islam! Within approximately 700 pages, Kung manages to adequately discuss the origins of Islam, the life of the Prophet Muhammed, the ...
