This enchanting 1987 Polish stamp set celebrates the timeless fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, issued in connection with the international philatelic exhibition HAFNIA ’87 in Denmark. Illustrated by E. Freudenreich in a dreamy watercolor style, each design evokes the charm of Andersen’s classic stories — from The Little Match Girl to The Snow Queen and The Ugly Duckling. The soft tones and expressive imagery beautifully capture the magic and melancholy that define Andersen’s literary world, making this issue a favorite among both thematic collectors and admirers of children’s literature.
