Andersen's fairy tales
Biography of Hans Christian Andersen
About Andersen
Hans Christian Andersen was tall and skinny with a big nose - he always thought that he was very ugly. His stories show compassion for those who are outcast and suffering. They also make fun of the spoiled and conceited. His fairy tales teach us that appearances can be deceiving, and that there is a magical beauty even within the most unlikely characters.
