Reading Notes: Anderson Fairy Tales (Part A)


Translated in 1872

"Why can I not sleep?"
Reading A:
The Princess and the Pea
The Emperor’s New Suit
The Brave Tin Soldier (2 parts)
The Wicked Prince
The Little Match-Seller

Princess and the Pea
-story I used to read when I was little
-it is the same as I remember it: this is the first one I have read that has been like that



Emperor's New Suit
-laughed a little at first bc of “Emperor’s New Groove” with the llama
-silk and gold-cloth
-remember reading this one as a child as well, and not fully understanding it

Brave Tin Soldier
-great imagery: “the tin soldier could already see daylight shining where the arch ended”
