"I always sleep with my knife," replied the robber girl. "One does not know what may happen."
Nielsen illustrates the work of fellow Dane, Andersen, in this gorgeous gift book with a style mixing "some of the decorative design of Art Nouveau with the bold shapes of Art Deco" (Menges). Includes "The Snow Queen," "The Nightingale," and more. A stunning production.
