What to read after Andersen's Märchen (Classic Reprint)?

Tms book has been prepared with the hope that it may prove useful to two classes of students: 1) Those who are beginners in the language and therefore need numerous aids, and (2) those who are already somewhat advanced in the study but need easy texts for rapid reading or for sight translation. To meet the wants of the first class, the vocabulary has been made so full that a student needs but the merest outlines of German accidence before beginning to read these stories.

Andersen's tales are especially well suited for school purposes because they are easy and generally interesting, both of which qualities are essential to the best results in the class-room. Every beginner in a language is obliged to contend with three difficulties, viz vocabulary, style and Mought, all of which may be considerably alleviated by'a judicious choice of texts, since words will be more readily remembered if the learner can connect them with ideas and objects with which he is constantly associated. What a pupil should master first, so far as possible, is the vocabulary, and in order that more attention may be devoted to this point, the other two difficulties should, to a great extent, be removed from texts intended for beginners.
