ANDERSEN, HANS, JACKSON, CHRISTINE HANS ANDERSEN FORTY STORIES Newly translated from the Danish by Dr. M.R.JAMES.
Lond.:Faber & Faber, 1930. First Ed. 8vo; pp.466; 24 full-page colour plates by Christine Jackson; publisher's red cloth; gilt motif to upper board; head of spine tender; else a fine copy in good dustwrapper. ¶ Most of the Hans Andersen editions are translated not from the Danish in which the stories were written, but from German translations of the originals. Thus the stories have lost a great deal through the double process of translation. Dr. James's interpretation of the 40 stories is a valuable addition to the Andersen collection. Dr. James was Provost of Eton. A scarce book.
