H.C. ANDERSEN HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN; 2 April 1805 – 4 August 1875 was the best remembered Danish author for his fairy-tales which have been translated into more than 125 languages. Some of Andersen’s most famous fairy tales include “The Little Mermaidâ€, “The Snow Queenâ€, “The Ugly Ducklingâ€, “The Nightingaleâ€, “The Emperor’s New Clothes†and many more. His stories have inspired plays, ballets, and both live-action and animated films. Andersen’s popularity is not limited to children; his stories, called eventyr in Danish, or “fairy-tales†in English, express themes that transcend age and nationality.
