His most famous fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Red Shoes", "The Princess and the Pea", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling", "The Little Match Girl", and "Thumbelina". His stories have inspired ballets, plays, and animated and live-action films.

ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR

Grasia Oliyko

Young and talented artist Gracia Oliyko feels that the language of arts is sufficient to tell incredible stories. She graduated from a law school, but has always hoped to engage in her favorite work — art. So, despite her law qualification, over time she fully devoted herself to art.
She is convinced that “illustration is a vast, infinite Universe where one can find something new every day. This inspires me to work on myself daily.”
Gracia is a social activist for whom “life improvement” is not just a nice phrase. Even her books for children cover socially important topics, such as empathy, caring for animals, friendship, environmental protection, etc.
