Hans Christian Andersen, the Danish writer, became famous for his fairy tales. His 1835 version of a princess with a sensitive nature, sensitive enough to feel a pea hidden under several layers of bedding, has lasted throughout generations in many cultures. His first collection of seven fairy tales, including The Princess and the Pea, was the beginning of a new genre of stories for children. Our version is exquisitely illustrated by Lynn McClain.

This endearing story is the first of three fairy tales originally published in 1812 in the German "Grimm's Fairy Tales." It is about the joy of giving and the rewards for work well done. The fable is especially meaningful during the Christmas season when generosity and benevolence toward those less fortunate abound.

"The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse" is attributed to the ancient Greek fabulist Aesop, born circa 620 BC. It was conveyed through the ages; by the twelfth century, medieval Europe had written copies. Jean de La Fontaine included it in his first collection of tales in 1668 in France. In most versions, the safety of a humble abode and contentment in the simple life are championed.
