My life is a lovely story, happy and full of incident. If, when I was a boy, and went forth into the world poor and friendless, a good fairy had met me and said, "Choose now thy own course through life, and the object for which thou wilt strive, and then, according to the development of thy mind, and as reason requires, I will guide and defend thee to its attainment," my fate could not, even then, have been directed more happily, more prudently, or better.

My life is a lovely story, happy and full of incident. If, when I was a boy, and went forth into the world poor and friendless, a good fairy had met me and said, "Choose now thy own course through life, and the object for which thou wilt strive, and then, according to the development of thy mind, and as reason requires, I will guide and defend thee to its attainment," my fate could not, even then, have been directed more happily, more prudently, or better. The history of my life will say to the world what it says to me-There is a loving God, who directs all things for the best. My native land, Denmark, is a poetical land, full of popular traditions, old songs, and an eventful history, which has become bound up with that of Sweden and Norway. The Danish islands are possessed of beautiful beech woods, and corn and clover fields: they resemble gardens on a great scale. Upon one of these green islands, Funen, stands Odense, the place of my birth. Odense is called after the pagan god Odin, who, as tradition states, lived here: this place is the capital of the province, and lies twenty-two Danish miles from Copenhagen.

Autorenporträt
Hans Christian Andersen, born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Denmark, came from a humble background but went on to become a celebrated author worldwide. His father, a poor shoemaker, encouraged his creativity, while his mother, a washerwoman, shared stories that inspired Andersen's imagination. At 14, he moved to Copenhagen to pursue a career in the arts, initially aspiring to act, sing, and dance, though his real passion soon shifted to writing.Andersen gained early recognition for his novels and poetry, but it was his fairy tales that truly solidified his legacy. In 1835, he published Fairy Tales Told for Children, featuring enduring stories like "The Little Mermaid" and "The Ugly Duckling." These tales reflected his unique ability to convey complex emotions through simple language, touching on themes of resilience, acceptance, and compassion, which resonated with both children and adults.Throughout his life, Andersen traveled extensively, and his experiences influenced his writing. Although he became famous and widely admired, he often felt like an outsider, which echoed in many of his stories. Andersen passed away on August 4, 1875, in Copenhagen, leaving behind a literary legacy that continues to inspire readers and artists worldwide.
