HERE was once a fine gentleman, all of whose moveables were a bootjack and a haircomb: but he had the finest false collars in the world; and it is about one of these collars that we are now to hear a story. It was so old, that it began to think of marriage; and it happened that it came to be washed in company with a garter. "Nay!" said the collar, "I never did see anything so slender and so fine, so soft and so neat. May I not ask your name l" "That I shall not tell you!" said the "Where do you live V asked the collar. But the garter was so bashful, so modest, and thought it was a strange question to answer. "You are certainly a girdle," said the collar; "that is to say an inside girdle. I see well that you are both for use and ornament, my dear young lady." "I will thank you not to speak to me," said the garter. "I think I have not given the least occasion for it." "Yes! when one is as handsome as you," said the collar, "that is occasion enough." "Don't come so near me, I beg of you!" said the garter. "You look so much like those men-folks." "I am also a fine gentleman," said the collar. "I have a boot-jack and a hair-comb." But that was not true, for it was his master who had them: but he boasted. "Don't come so near me," said the garter: "I am not accustomed to it." "Prude !" exclaimed the collar; and then it was taken out of the washing-tub. It was starched, hung over the back of a chair in the sunshine, and was then laid on the ironingblanket; then came the warm box-iron. "Dear lady!" said the collar. "Dear widowlady! I feel quite hot. I am quite changed. I begin to unfold myself. You will burn a hole in me. Oh! I offer you my hand." "Rag!" said the box-iron; and went proudly over the collar: for she fancied she...

Book excerpt: "[...] "Yes, she could sing that!" said he, and nodded to the portrait, which he had bought at the broker's, and the old man's eyes shone so bright! "I will go to the wars! I will go to the wars!" shouted the pewter soldier as loud as he could, and threw himself off the drawers right down on the floor. What became of him? The old man sought, and the little boy sought; he was away, and he stayed away. "I shall find him!" said the old man; but he never found him. The floor was too open—the pewter soldier had fallen[...]".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the street, up there, was an old, a very old house,—it was almost three hundred years old, for that might be known by reading the great beam on which the date of the year was carved: together with tulips and hop-binds there were whole verses spelled as in former times, and over every window was a distorted face cut out in the beam. The one story stood forward a great way over the other; and directly under the eaves was a leaden spout with a dragon's head; the rain-water should have run out of the mouth, but it ran out of the belly, for there was a hole in the spout.All the other houses in the street were so new and so neat, with large window-panes and smooth walls, one could easily see that they would have nothing to do with the old house: they certainly thought, "How long is that old decayed thing to stand here as a spectacle in the street? And then the protecting windows stand so far out, that no one can see from our windows what happens in that direction! The steps are as broad as those of a palace, and as high as to a church tower. The iron railings look just like the door to an old family vault, and then they have brass tops,—that's so stupid!"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hans Christian Andersen (April 2, 1805 - August 4, 1875) was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales, a literary genre he so mastered that his works have been immortalized in children's world literature. Andersen's popularity was not limited to children, as his fairy tales express universal themes that transcend age and nationality. During his lifetime he was acclaimed for having delighted children worldwide, and was feted by royalty. Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. They have inspired motion pictures, plays, ballets, and animated films. Wikipedia January 2013
