On 19 December 1853, in Præstø on Zealand, little Astrid Stampe celebrated her first birthday. One of her presents was a very fine picture book that her maternal grandfather, Adolph Drewsen, had produced along with his good friend Hans Christian Andersen. The two men collaborated on filling the pages of the book with over one thousand pictures, papercuts, and decorative cuttings and various picture sheets. This is an exact, photographic facsimile edition of Andersen’s original papercuts which, apart from the picture book, also contains notes on the many picture pages as well as articles on the scrap book and its background. In addition, the book contains over a hundred verses written by Andersen that comment on his pictures.

Four hens live on a chicken farm. A little rooster lives there, too. "What a nice little rooster you have here," everyone says when they come to visit. Indeed, it seems so for a while. But then the rooster begins to take more food for himself, and the hens get less. When the hens try talking to him about fairness, they're not prepared for his reaction. The rooster turns into an egotistical barnyard bully, and the hens are worse off than before. Finally, the oldest hen puts her foot down: "We can't go on like this. We must do something." Expressive and witty illustrations give lots of pluck to this hilarious barnyard tale from Sweden's most beloved husband-and-wife duo.
