The Creative Personalities set 40291 is part of a subline of LEGO GWPs celebrating real historical artists, authors, and creators. This set celebrates Hans Christian Andersen, featuring a display of his iconic ugly duckling fairy tale vividly coming to life as he tells the story to a child on a cobblestone street. Built on a base of a life size construction of a book, this set would make an interesting and unique display piece, making it a great choice for adult fans nostalgic for the literature of their youths. However, its relatively simple build and 307 part count would also make it a perfect choice for children 8 and up who have more recently read Andersen's work. 
This set is new and sealed, and comes in a box in great condition.
