Some will make you wistful and yearn for the mountains, sending you into soft slumbers with dreams of crags, corries and deep dark lakes. Others will make you chuckle and long for that cup of tea in the funny little cafe or remind you of the ice cream you had as you watched the steamers drift by. Quirky, fun and sometimes a little naughty, these short stories with accompanying photographs are set in Cumbria with a bonus selection at the back."

Book excerpt: Tales From the Hills is a collection of stories from the author's travels in Europe's mountain and wilderness areas including the Alps and Norway as well as closer to home outings in the Lake District, Snowdonia and the Scottish Highlands.

On the way we encounter Dutch caravanners on the mountain roads of Norway, part time peak baggers in the Lake District and a walker in Wales who is so lost he has climbed the wrong mountain. This will appeal to anyone who has a love for walking and the outdoors as well as those who enjoy a good travellers tale.

Download or read book Tales and Stories by Hans Christian Andersen written by Hans Christian Andersen and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories that have delighted children and fascinated adults for over a century are the heritage of Hans Christian Andersen. This collection has been selected and translated with the growing audience of adults--both students and general readers--in mind, and displays the full range of Andersen’s authorship, from parable to science fiction. In this fresh, contemporary translation Rossel and Conroy have endeavored to “preserve for the English-speaking audience the engaging duplicity of Andersen’s style, the tension of play between his sympathetic conversational tone and his use of the studied effect.” This is a tension between the simplicity of stories intended to be read aloud to children ad the subtlety of the allegory skillfully woven into each for the adults who would be listening and “must have something to think about,” as Andersen said. The introductions provide an overview of Andersen’s life and struggle to become an author, as well as an analysis of his contributions as an artist and storyteller. Each story has also been provided with an endnote giving publication dates, information about the genesis of the tale, and relevant comments by Andersen and other. Readers who remember with nostalgia such tales as “The Ugly Duckling” and “The Little Match Girl” may be surprised to find the biting satire in many of the stories, such as “The Nightingale” and “The Gardener and the Lord and Lady,” the revealing self-portraits of the author in “The Sweethearts,” “The Butterfly,” and “The Shadow,” the mysticism of “The story of a Mother” and “The Bell” the prophetic quality of “In a Thousand Years Time,” and the complexity and charm of “the Snow Queen.” The book contains the drawings of Vilhelm Pedersen and Lorenz Frolich that originally appeared in the first illustrated Danish editions of Andersen’s tales and stories.
