The first edition, compiled by the Danish– Russian translator Peter Emanuel Hansen (1846– 1930).

French and Russian title pages; original decorated cloth pasted on covers, preserving the original chromolithographed wrappers designed by Dalkevich, incorporating a portrait of Andersen by the engraver Vasily Mat? (1856–1917). Rare book, COPAC locates the British Library copy only.
