Selected by the poet Guerra Junqueiro for his celebrated 1877 anthology, this collection includes Andersen favourites in beautiful old Portuguese — The Emperor's New Clothes, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Little Match Girl, The Story of a Mother — alongside traditional tales of grateful animals, simple Johns, and wandering fiddlers.

Every sentence is aligned Portuguese-to-English, so you always know exactly what you are reading. Tap any word for an instant definition, listen to natural audio in both languages, and follow the highlighted word alignment as the story is read aloud.
