Features: I must have read my fairy tales, with their characters, animals, and monsters—you won’t forget them, right? But that was only a small part of what I’ve encountered in my life, and there are so many more that you haven’t seen yet. In my not-so-straightforward life, filled with fantasy, chance, the bizarre, opportunities, and legends, open this book and step into my world—my entire life can be called a beautiful and captivating fairy tale, with twists and turns that are enthralling. On the bicentenary of Hans Christian Andersen’s birth, the Chinese Writers' Federation presents this autobiography written by him in 1855. The book recounts his memories of his youth, his joyous travels across Europe after gaining fame, the criticism and setbacks he faced in Denmark, and his interactions with European nobility, especially writers and artists of the time, during his travels. This book, as Andersen himself said, "can be called a beautiful and captivating fairy tale, with twists and turns that are enthralling. Here, I candidly narrate my fairy-tale-like life, filled with confidence, as if sitting with close friends and sharing stories."
