A compact portrait of Hans Christian Andersen the Danish author famed for fairy tales. Born 1805 in Odense to a poor family, he faced early hardship, pursued various losing endeavors, found fame through fairy tales, and died 1875 with a burning letter from his first love.
The passage outlines Andersen's love of attention from royalty and writers, his ambition, sensitivity, and thrift. It notes his illness and worry, habit of arriving early at stations, and carrying a rope to escape fires. It mentions his religious nature, thrifty beginnings, and the publication history of his tales. It also references new and old retellings, an illustrated version setting, early translations, and the Hans Christian Andersen Award recognizing living authors and illustrators in children's literature with past U.S. winners listed.
