who love Andersen's Fairy Tales,
for it tells the story of young
Hans himself, in such a way that
it sounds almost like some of his
own tales. In fact, his own life,
his family, and the neighbors were
turned into some of his stories
when he grew up.
Hans Christian was a wise,
friendh imaginative child who
liked all sorts of people, from the
Crown Frince of Denmark to the
little girl next door. He was al
ways making up stories, acting
them out, and doing puppet plays
—he even made his own puppets.
Denmark, a century ago, was a
strange land for American chil
dren of today to read about. It, too,
was like a fairy tale place where
little Hans Andersen lived.
