Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hans Christian Andersen: A Biography
A life of Hans Christian Andersen will, I venture to think, not be unwelcome in England. He is the one foreign author whom we can never regard as an alien; whom, from long familiarity and association, we have come to look upon as one of ourselves. His stories have been the delight of our children for three generations, and their popularity among us increases rather than diminishes as time goes on; scarcely a year passes without bringing with it a new edition or translation of the incomparable Fairy Tales.
