Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales is a 1913 London collection of Hans Christian Andersen's stories published by Constable, illustrated by W. Heath Robinson for a general readership of children and adults. The pictures are pen-and-ink line drawings with dense hatching and flat cream paper, showing whimsical figures such as a girl beneath a tall tree, a seated traveller in a wide hat, and a tall costumed character in a cloak, offering designers a model for decorative fantasy linework and figure caricature.
