The Fairy Tale of My Life: An Autobiography

Danish poet and novelist Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) is best known for his countless fairy tales, including The Little Mermaid, The Ugly Duckling, and The Snow Queen.

Andersen's sense of fantasy, power of description, and acute sensitivity are strikingly evident in his autobiography.

Andersen masterfully depicts the extreme poverty of his provincial childhood and the international celebrity of his later years. He also provides insights into the sources of many of his most famous tales.
