Summary "Παραμύθια Δανικά, εκ των του Ανδερσεν" by H. C. Andersen and Demetrios Vikelas is a collection of fairy tales likely written in the early 19th century. The collection includes well-known stories that have captivated audiences in Europe and America, with themes that often explore morality, identity, and the extraordinary in the everyday. Key tales in the opening portion include "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Ugly Duckling," which reflect Andersen's unique style and perspectives. The opening of the collection begins with a warm preface addressed to children, expressing a desire for them to enjoy reading these fairy tales after completing their studies and duties. The translator, Vikelas, hopes to inspire young readers to appreciate literature that is both entertaining and educational. The first tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes," introduces a vain king obsessed with fashion, who is deceived by two con men claiming to weave a magical fabric that only the wise can see. As the story unfolds, the king’s pride leads him to don "invisible" clothes, which culminates in the revelation of his nakedness by a child, serving as a poignant commentary on pride and self-deception.
