About Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen was born to a poor family in Odense, Denmark, and went to Copenhagen at fourteen to make his way in the theater. He became famous for his fairy tales, more than 150 of them, including The Little Mermaid, The Snow Queen, The Emperor's New Clothes and The Ugly Duckling. Unlike the folk tales collected by the Brothers Grimm, most of Andersen's were his own inventions, often tender and sad, and they have been translated into more languages than almost any other books.
