Features: For over a hundred years, his fairy tales have been widely spread, yet he gained fame through novels and had more readers than his fairy tales. He was an impassioned poet and also a renowned traveler of the 19th century, with 29 remarkable journeys in his lifetime. This book, written in a diary format, traces his journey in December 1840, once again embarking on a trip as a master storyteller: from Denmark to Hamburg, through Italy to Greece, across the Aegean Sea to Turkey, and out of the Bosphorus Strait. Let us follow in the footsteps of Hans Christian Andersen and experience a extraordinary and fantastical journey.
