For more than one and a half centuries, the whole world has known and love the tales of Hans Christian Andersen. Among their fans was the English illustrator Arthur Rackham. Even in childhood, reading the books of a great storyteller, he dreamed of getting into those magic lands where mermaids hide in the sea foam, guests of the forest king were feasting under a hill, where toys and flowers come to life and even a snowman is able to love.
Many years later, when Rekham grew up and became a famous artist, his dream came true: in 1931, starting to work on illustrations for Andersen’s fairy tales, he visited the writer’s homeland, in Denmark. Probably, this country really turned out to be magical for him, because RECHEM drawings were so accurately conveyed by the atmosphere of fairy tales, as if at home with tiled roofs, old castles and quiet farms told the artist all those wonderful stories that they once told the author.
For children of secondary school age.
