ILLUSTRATIONS

_THE SNOW QUEEN_
PAGE
One day he was in a high state of delight because he had
invented a mirror 5

Many a winter's night she flies through the streets 11

Then an old, old woman came out of the house 23

She has read all the newspapers in the world, and forgotten
them again, so clever is she 37

'It is gold, it is gold!' they cried 51

Kissed her on the mouth, while big shining tears trickled
down its face 63

The Snow Queen sat in the very middle of it when she sat
at home 71

_THE NIGHTINGALE_

Even the poor fisherman ... lay still to listen to it 81

'Is it possible?' said the gentleman-in-waiting. 'I should
never have thought it was like that' 89

Took some water into their mouths to try and make the same
gurgling, ... thinking so to equal the nightingale 95

The music-master wrote five-and-twenty volumes about the
artificial bird 101

Even Death himself listened to the song 109

_THE REAL PRINCESS_

'I have hardly closed my eyes the whole night!
Heaven knows what was in the bed. I seemed to
be lying upon some hard thing, and my whole body
is black and blue this morning. It is terrible!' _Frontispiece_
