The Wild Swans. Collection

This collection of audio fairy tales includes the most popular works by Hans Christian Andersen. You’ll hear the story of Kai and Gerda: their kindness and true friendship prove stronger than the magic of the Snow Queen. Also in the program are “The Little Match Girl” and “The Little Mermaid,” with touching plots about courage, staying true to yourself, and the ability to overcome trials, “The Ugly Duckling,” and other beloved fairy tales. A classic translation by Anna and Petr Hansen makes the text expressive and engaging, helping a child learn to love reading and the world of fairy tales. Recommended for listeners aged 9–11 (grades 3–5); the audiobook is suitable as a gift for a schoolchild and will help set the mood before the start of the school year.
