This children’s book is about the peaceful town of Cardemom and the people there, as well as the only characters which stir up serious trouble. They are the three robbers: Casper, Jasper and Jonathan, who live outside the town and regularly enter to steal the things they need. In the end the robbers are arrested, but good treatment in the jail by the kindly constable Bastian reforms them, and in the final chapter they become the hero of the day when they extinguish the fire in the tower of the town.

Born in 1805 in the Danish town of Odense, near Copenhagen, Hans Christian Andersen was indeed an ugly duckling. Though his looks kept him apart from other children, and later made it difficult for him to find work as an actor, Andersen was profoundly touched by the power of stories and imagination from a very early age, encouraged by a father who told him bedtime stories and made wooden figures for him. Anna Carew-Miller illuminates how the facts of Andersen's life, and indeed everything around him, fueled such wondrous stories as "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Mermaid," while the fantastic ink and wash drawings of Kirill Chelushkin envision the strange characters and miniature theaters of Andersen's mind, in this oversized picture book biography for readers 8 and up.
