THE ICE-MAIDEN
by Andersen, Hans Christian
- Used
London: Richard Bentley, 1863. Very good plus.. First edition in English of this collection of some of Andersen's most recently published popular tales, with gorgeous historiated initials and vignettes after drawings by Johann Baptist Zwecker. All four tales in this collection - "The Ice-Maiden," "The Butterfly," "Psyche," and "The Snail and the Rosebush" - were first published in Danish in 1861-1862 and appear here in English for the first time. (An American edition also appeared the same year with a different translation.) The beautifully executed wood engravings truly elevate the publication, which is rarely found in nice condition. An unusually well-preserved copy. Small quarto. 8'' x 6''. Original full gilt-stamped blue pebbled cloth, with elaborate gilt cornerpieces and center vignette on front board, gilt-lettered spine. Beveled edges. All edges gilt. 2 pages of ads at rear. Illustrated with drawings by Zwecker, engraved by Pearson. Translated by Anne Bushby. [8], 173, [1], [2] pages. Early 20th-century ownership info embossed on front free endpaper and title page. Westleys binder's ticket on rear pastedown. Light edgewear and bumping to extremities, spine slightly cocked. Front hinge cracked but firm.

MP3 Audio CD. The Ice-Maiden. I. LITTLE RUDY. Let us visit Switzerland and look around us in the glorious country of mountains, where the forest rises out of steep rocky walls; let us ascend to the dazzling snow-fields, and thence descend to the green plains, where the rivulets and brooks hasten away, foaming up, as if they feared not to vanish, as they reached the sea. The sun beams upon the deep valley, it burns also upon the heavy masses of snow; so that after the lapse of years, they melt into shining ice-blocks, and become rolling avalanches and heaped-up glaciers. Two of these lie in the broad clefts of the rock, under the Schreckhorn and Wetterhorn, near the little town of Grindelwald. They are so remarkable that many strangers come to gaze at them, in the summer time, from all parts of the world; they come over the high snow-covered mountains, they come from the deepest valleys, and they are obliged to ascend during many hours, and as they ascend, the valley sinks deeper and deeper, as…
