The Complete Andersen includes first prints (they had never been printed in Danish, either) of no less than three fairy tales: Folks say, The Poor Woman and the Little Canary Bird, and Urbanus; the edition also includes The Pigs from the travel book In Sweden, the whole Picture Book Without Pictures, which is often placed among the travel books, and the novel Lucky Peer which may also with all reason be called a fairy tale novel. Normally, Lucky Peer is ranged as a novel.
The list of works translated by Hersholt includes the original 156 printed in Andersen's own time plus the fairy tales found in his papers—and published after his death: The Court Cards, Croak!, Danish Popular Legends, God Can Never Die, The Penman, The Talisman, and This Fable is Intended for You.

he Gardener and the Noble Family
bout four miles from the city stood an old manor house withthick walls.towers,and pointed gables.Here lived,but onlyin the Summer seaS0n a rich and noble family. Of all thedifferent estates they owned,this was the best and the mostbeautiful:on the outside it looked as if it had just been cast in a,foundrv.and the inside was made for comfort and ease..Fhefamily coat of arms was carved in stone over the gate;beautitUllscs climbed about the arnls and the balconies;the COHrtyardwas covered with grass:there were red thorn and whit‘th”1”I,and many’“‘flowers even outside the greenhouse.
Thc oWncrs of the manor house also had a very skillful gardener.It was aoleasure to see the flower garden,thc orchard,and the vegetable garden,A partLf thc manor’s original old garden was still there’consisting of a icw box—treehedCes Cut S0 that they formed crowns and pyramids. Behind these stoo.d two old,htv trees,almost always without leaves,and one might easily think that a stormor.aterspout had scattered great lumps of dirt on their branches;bu;each lump.was a bird’s nest.Here,from time immemorial.a screaming swarin ot crows an.drooks had built their nests:it was a regular bird town,and the birds were tn‘oWners,thc manor’s oldest family—thc real lordship!Thc people below mean!nothing to them:they tolerated these crawling creatures,even if every now andthcn t‘cv shot with their guns,making the birds’backbones shiver,so that everybird flew up in fear and cried,“Rak!Rak!”
The gardener often spoke to the noble family about cutting down the Old tr,ee,s; did not look well,and by taking them away they might also get nd theshriacking birds,which then would probably look for another place.But the fa,milydid not want to give up either the trees or the swarm of birds;that was somethingthe manOr C0uld not lose. something from the olden times,which should never beforgotten.
Wda;Whv.those trees are thc birds’heritage by this time,so let them keep them,mv good Larsen!”Larsen was the gardener‘s name,but that 1s oi very tittleenCe to this story.
