Hans Christian Andersen

(1805 – 1875)

Biographical Sketch

Hans Christian Andersen (Odense, Denmark, April 2, 1805 – Copenhagen, Denmark, August 4, 1875), was a Danish author. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, he is best remembered for his fairy tales.

Andersen’s fairy tales, consisting of 156 stories across nine original volumes and translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West’s collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. His most famous fairy tales include The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Little Mermaid, The Nightingale, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Red Shoes, The Princess and the Pea, The Snow Queen, The Ugly Duckling, The Little Match Girl, and Thumbelina. His stories have inspired ballets, plays, and animated and live-action films. One of Copenhagen’s widest and busiest boulevards, skirting Copenhagen City Hall Square at the corner of which Andersen’s larger-than-life bronze statue sits, is named “H.C. Andersens Boulevard.”  Andersen’s home town Odense has named its airport for him.  In addition, two literary awards are named for Andersen: the International Board on Books for Young People’s Hans Christian Andersen Award, given annually to an author and illustrator whose complete works have made lasting contributions to children’s literature; and the Danish Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award, established in 2010 and awarded biannually to a living author whose work resembles that of Andersen.
