The fairy tales of the famous Danish writer, poet and artist, Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875), have been translated into many languages throughout the world, accompanying generations of children as they grow up.
Chunghwa Post has chosen The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen, The Little Match Girl, and The Ugly Duckling as the themes for a set of four stamps valued at NT$8 each. The stamps are designed as paper cutouts and mirror images. The Little Mermaid bravely chooses to trade her voice in exchange for human legs. The Snow Queen and the Little Boy are magically bound together by a magic mirror. On lighting her matches, the Little Match Girl is entranced by visions of joy. After enduring many trials, the Ugly Duckling is at last transformed into a swan. The pictures capture the boundless imagination of Andersen’s tales.
