Features: A match lit by a master, burning distantly for over a hundred years, from Europe to the world, illuminating the hearts of countless adults and children. On April 2, 2005, it was the 200th birthday of this fairy tale giant, Hans Christian Andersen, who won the respect and remembrance of people all over the world. His birthday was a festival, a celebration of his immortal works, and a celebration of the many protagonists in his fairy tales. As you travel with the author once again through the places where Andersen grew up, you will truly get close to his world, the dreamlike fairy tale kingdom, and the untethered innocence—undoubtedly, this will be a journey that deeply moves you for years to come. This year marks the 200th anniversary of Andersen's birth, and this book is published in his honor. It introduces the various stages of Andersen's growth and creative process, with detailed analysis and appreciation of his famous works. Most existing books focus on Andersen's fairy tales, but this one analyzes the growth and works of the fairy tale master through some of his personal experiences. It is a small gift we offer to everyone for Children's Day.
