Hans Cristian Andersen

1860

Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) was a Danish author best known for his fairy tales, which have become classics of children's literature. Born in Odense, Denmark, to a poor family, he pursued a career in writing despite early hardships.

Andersen wrote novels, plays, and travelogues, but his greatest legacy is his collection of fairy tales, published in multiple volumes between 1835 and 1872. Some of his most famous stories include *The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor’s New Clothes,* and *The Snow Queen.* His tales often contained deep moral lessons, blending fantasy with themes of struggle, resilience, and transformation.

Although he faced criticism early in his career, Andersen gained international fame, and his works were translated into many languages. His influence on literature and storytelling remains significant, inspiring countless adaptations in theater, film, and art. He died in 1875, leaving behind a literary legacy cherished worldwide.
