He once said that ideas for stories 'lie in my mind like seeds and only need the kiss of a sunbeam or a drop of malice to flower'. Hans Andersen's stories began to be translated into English as early as 1846. Since then, numerous editions, and more recently Hollywood songs and a Disney cartoon, have helped to ensure the continuing popularity of the stories in the English-speaking world.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Puffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50611604128018,"sku":"9780141329017","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_b316d6b0-1bf1-442c-a1b8-485fd383b16b.jpg?v=1772531331","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/hans-christian-andersens-fairy-tales-9780141329017","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
