World Of Hans Christian Andersens Fairy Tales Jigsaw

A thousand pieces of The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen, The Ugly Duckling and the whole glorious world of Hans Christian Andersen, illustrated by Adam Simpson in the kind of beautiful, intricate detail that makes you want to frame the finished thing. This is an evening well spent. Several evenings, actually. The illustrated poster that comes with it introduces Andersen's life and works, so by the time the last piece clicks into place, everyone around the table knows a little more about the man who gave us some of the most enduring stories ever told.

We love it because:

• Adam Simpson's illustration is genuinely stunning. Rich, detailed and full of the magic of the original tales, this is a jigsaw worth doing slowly.
• At 48.5 x 68cm when complete, it's a proper project. Satisfying to build, beautiful to finish, and very tempting to frame.
• The illustrated poster adds real context. A lovely way to introduce children and adults alike to Andersen's life and the stories behind the stories.
• It works brilliantly as a shared activity across ages: something to come back to over a few evenings, a little at a time.
