  This is a collection of a few of my personal favorite stories by Hans Christian Andersen that I most loved as a child and still enjoy as an adult. The Emperor's New Clothes was funny from my earliest years because even then I could see that it poked fun at adults and their silly pretensions; The Ugly Duckling I think, was enjoyable because the bullied little one turned out so well and it had a happy ending although I thought even as a child that the protagonist should have gone back and brought those mean barnyard fowl down a peg or two. Little Tiny or Thumbellina is just a sweet story with adventure thrown in and The Brave Little Tin Soldier was and is a tribute to bravery and steadfastness. The last story, There Is No Doubt About It ! was so obviously silly and fun even to a young child and frankly, I just love the way the animals talk in this story.

  One day when bullied Florian comes home from school, he finds a visitor in the caravan where he lives with his father. 
  The woman, who looks older than time, tells him that his father is king of Celestia and has seven days to renew the spell of protection over the land. 
  But his father has no interest in going back. 
  So Florian finds himself with a crown on his head, having to complete a task he has no idea how to do, on the way across the sea-bridge to Celestia. 
  He has some companions: his father three motorcycle-riding friends who insist they're elves, and his father's horse, which is a unicorn in disguise. 
  The problem is that the elves haven't been to Celestia for a long time either, and the horse has always hated Florian. 
  An extra problem is that the unofficial queen of Celestia, Florian's mother, doesn't want him back. She is under the control of powerful magical spirits. 
  Did I say Florian knows nothing about Celestia or about magic? And he has only seven days?

  The Sky Was Full of Ships - One...

  The Sky Was Full of Ships by Theodore Sturgeon - They tried Gordon Kent for murder–but who was really responsible? 
  Sykes died, and after two years they tracked Gordon Kemp down and brought him back, because he was the only man who knew anything about the death. Kemp had to face a coroner's jury in Switchpath, Arizona, a crossroads just at the edge of the desert, and he wasn't too happy about it, being city-bred and not quite understanding the difference between "hicks" and "folks." 
  The atmosphere in the courtroom was tense. Had there been great wainscoted walls and a statue of blind Justice, it would have been more impersonal and, for Kemp, easier to take. But this courtroom was a crossroads granger's hall in Switchpath, Arizona. 
  The presiding coroner was Bert Whelson, who held a corncob pipe instead of a gavel. At their ease around the room were other men, dirt-farmers and prospectors like Whelson. It was like a movie short. It needed only a comedy dance number and somebody playing a jug. 
  But there was nothing comic about it. These hicks were in a position to pile trouble on Kemp, trouble that might very easily wind up in the gas chamber. 
  The coroner leaned forward. "You got nothin' to be afeard of, son, if your conscience is clear." 
  "I still ain't talking. I brought the guy in, didn't I? Would I of done that if I'd killed him?" 
  The coroner stroked his stubble, a soft rasping sound like a rope being pulled over a wooden beam. 
  "We don't know about that, Kemp. Hmm. Why can't you get it through your head that nobody's accusing you of anything? You're jest a feller knows something about the death of this here Alessandro Sykes. This court'd like to know exactly what happened." 
  He hesitated, shuffled. 
  "Sit down, son," said the coroner. 
  That did it. He slumped into the straight chair that one of the men pushed up for him, and told this story.
