在每個人的兒時回憶裡,想必都有一頁是屬於安徒生的童話故事。本書精選安徒生三篇耳熟能詳的童話:〈賣火柴的女孩〉、〈國王的新衣〉、〈紅舞鞋〉。
三則故事,三位截然不同的主人翁,鮮明的角色和性格,〈賣火柴的女孩〉那位最能觸動人們側隱之心的可憐小女孩,〈國王的新衣〉那位昏庸的國王,〈紅舞鞋〉那位虛榮心的女孩,文中可見用簡樸精煉的文字濃縮人生,一篇篇看似幻想無邊的故事,其實洞悉人性、寓意深遠。
The three famous fairy tales in this book were written by the one and only Hans Christian Andersen. They not only feature insightful plots brightly colored with imagination, but also characters with vivid personalities.
The pitiful child in The Little Match Girl, the incompetent king in The Emperor’s Clothes, and the vain girl in The Red Shoes are just a few examples. Simple as the language in the book is, the profound meanings of these classic stories are beyond words.
