The nine tales of the three booklets were collected together and published in one volume and sold at seventy-two shillings. A title page, a table of contents, and a preface by Andersen were published in the volume.[1][2][3]
The stories included were "The Tinder Box" (first booklet), "Little Claus and Big Claus" (first booklet), "The Princess on the Pea" (first booklet), "Little Ida's Flowers" (first booklet), "Thumbelina" (second booklet), "The Naughty Boy" (second booklet), "The Traveling Companion" (second booklet), "The Little Mermaid" (third booklet), and "The Emperor's New Clothes" (third booklet).
