About The Author
Hans Christian Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was born in Odense, Denmark, son of a shoemaker and a washerwoman. He was the first writer to take the folk tale as a literary genre and create new stories, such as ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, ‘The Little Mermaid’, ‘The Ugly Duckling’ and ‘The Snow Queen’. His influence on children’s literature is inestimable, yet his stories work on many levels. He died in Copenhagen in 1875.
