    Hans Christian Andersen

    Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, Denmark, in 1805. He endured a lonely, impoverished childhood consoled by little more than his own imagination. He escaped to a theatre life in Copenhagen aged 14 where the support of a powerful patron enabled him to complete his scant education, and to write. His poetry, novels and travel books became hugely popular. But it was his Fairy Tales, the first children's stories of their kind, published in instalments from 1835 until the time of his death in 1875, that have immortalised him. Translated into more than 100 languages and adapted to every kind of media, they have made Andersen the most important children's writer in history.

    • 3/5
      This is a classic fairy tale, not very much left in the Disney and Pixar world, and I like many of their re-tellings better, since this and other tales weren't as cheery.
      The reader was enthusiastic and it made me think of being read to by a very kind big brother, if I'd been lucky enough to have one. He mispronounced several words ( "dowager", "ethereal" ), so I think it would help future readers to read through once and check to be sure (I feel awful for writing this. I have no idea why! The reader just sounded so sweet, I don't want to hurt his feelings) I have often marveled at audio book readers, who never seem to breathe or hiccup, and there was none of that here. I also had not heard this version's ending before, it was interesting.
