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 encountered in my life. There are so many more that you haven’t seen yet. In my not-so-straightforward life, filled with fantasy, chance, strangeness, 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 irresistible. On the bicentenary of Andersen’s birth, the Chinese Federation of Literary and Art Circles presents this autobiography written by Andersen in 1855. It recounts his memories of his youth, the joy of his travels in 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 journeys. This book, as Andersen himself said, "is a beautiful and captivating fairy tale of my life, with twists and turns that are irresistible. Here, I frankly narrate my fairy-tale-like life, filled with confidence, as if sitting with close friends to chat over tea."
