G E N E R A L I N T E R E S T Hans Christian Andersen The Complete Stories THE BRITISH LIBRARY The stories of Hans Christian Andersen are known all over the world and he is one of the most translated authors of all time. Andersen’s fame rests on his fairy tales and stories, written between 1835 and 1872, among the best known of which are ‘The Ugly Duckling,’ ‘The Little Mermaid,’ ‘The Princess and the Pea,’ ‘The Snow Queen,’ ‘The Nightingale,’ and ‘The Steadfast Tin Soldier.’ With these fairy tales, inspired by the great tradition of the Arabian Nights and by the brothers Grimm, Andersen became known as the father of the modern fairytale. Moreover, Andersen’s works were original. Only twelve of his 156 known fairy stories drew on folktales. This complete collection of Andersen’s stories is based on Jean Hersholt’s classic translation. Andersen’s stories have been widely illustrated by some of the best-known illustrators of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in particular those of the Edwardian period – the Golden Age of illustration – including W. Heath Robinson, Arthur Rackham, Mabel Lucie Atwell, Kay Nielsen and Edmund Dulac. Around ninety of the stories are illustrated with reproductions of original illustrations from classic Edwardian to contemporary illustrators. In addition, there are thirteen newly commissioned illustrations for some of Andersen’s less well-known stories. Advanced Praise: ‘The British Library has published a stupendous book, just under 1,000 pages long, of the complete stories.’ The Guardian LITERARY STUDIES 980 pp / 7 ½ x 10 2 /3 / Available 60 colour and 30 black and white illustrations Cloth ISBN 0-7123-0682-X / 978-07123-0682-9 $49.95 E DISTRIBUTIONS RIGHTS FOR NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA ONLY.

G E N E R A L I N T E R E S T The Filled Pen Selected Non-Fiction of P.K. Page P.K. Page Edited by Zailig Pollock P.K. Page is best known as one of Canada’s finest poets, but over the course of her career she has also written a number of essays – meditations – on her life and work, on the nature of art and the imagination, and on Canadian works of literature, painting, and film that have had special significance for her. As lovers of her poetry would hope and expect, these essays are beautiful, intelligent, moving, and delightfully quirky. The Filled Pen brings together the most important of these essays, including two previously unpublished: “A Writer’s Life” and “Fairy Tales, Folk Tales: The Language of the Imagination.” Zailig Pollock, Page scholar and professor of English at Trent University, has edited and annotated this collection for admirers of Page’s work, general readers, and academics alike. The essays, which cover a period of approximately forty years, reflect Page’s enduring concerns as a verbal and visual artist with the power of art and the imagination to transcend the barriers that limit our perceptions of the world and our sympathies with our fellow human beings. Page is more interested in posing questions than imposing answers; and fascinated as she is by a wide range of ideas, from ancient mysticism to modern neurophysiology, it is images, endlessly evocative and suggestive, that matter to her most. Her comments on A.M. Klein from “A Sense of Angels,” one of the most moving and perceptive tributes by one poet to another, apply very much to the P.K. Page we see in The Filled Pen: “For all his interest in the immediate world … for all his acceptance of ideological and psychological theory, he seemed to reach beyond both to a larger reality.” P.K. Page is a writer and painter living in Victoria B.C.
