All of the fairytales on this page have been adapted from the original to reflect a more modern Danish language, and to avoid archaic words and expressions. However, care has been taken not to change words, that are central to the story or the style unique to the author.
The texts are in the public domain due to their age, and these specific texts have come from the site www.andersenstories.com where you may find more by the same author and translations into various other languages.
