About this title

About the Author:

Michael Hague has illustrated some of the best-loved works of children's literature, including The Velveteen Rabbit, The Wizard of Oz, and The Teddy Bears' Picnic.

About his work, Michael Hague says, "I have always wanted to be a book illustrator. Books are what got me interested in the field in the first place. I try to infuse my illustrations with the same spirit that the author of the story produced in my imagination. I strive to create something from an empty canvas that becomes a whole 'other world' that people can visit for a while and totally believe in."

Mr. Hague lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with his wife Kathleen.

Synopsis:

A collection of tales including "The Snow Queen," "The Little Mermaid," "The Little Match girl," "Thumbelina," "The Elfin Hill," "Little Ida's Flower," "The Ugly Duckling," "The Wild Swans," and "The Emperor's New Clothes.".
