	Hans Christian Andersen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hans Christian Andersen [ˈhænˀs ˈkʰʁæsd̥jæn ˈanɔsn̩] or simply HC Andersen [ho̞ se ˈanɔsn̩], (April 2, 1805 – August 4, 1875) was a Danish author and poet most famous for his fairy tales.
		Andersen's father apparently believed that he might be related to nobility, and according to scholars at the Hans Christian Andersen Center, his paternal grandmother told him that the family had once been in a higher social class.
		Nevertheless, the theory that Andersen was the illegitimate son of royalty persists in Denmark, bolstered by the fact that the Danish King took a personal interest in Andersen as a youth and paid for his education.

		Hans Christian Andersen's own life had some of the aspects of a fairy tale: he was born the son of a poor cobbler and he died a rich and famous man, celebrated around the world, the intimate of kings and queens.
		Andersen was sent away to grammar school in the town of Slagelse, 57 miles from Copenhagen in the west of Zealand.

	The Tales of Hans Christian Andersen (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Andersen was wildly enthusiastic about the theatre, but he really only managed to transform his theatrical ambitions into great art when he created his fairy tale form, for with their lively scenic and spoken quality the fairy tales are a kind of prose drama.
		Andersen's prose is amazingly visual, and he also worked consciously to apply a painterly technique to his descriptions- something he probably picked up from his Danish and foreign painter friends.
		Andersen was also a poet, and it is a matter of simple fact that many of his poems provide the texts for songs that are among the most loved and widely sung in Danish to this day.

		Andersen was born in a one-room house in Odense, son of a poor shoemaker; his father died early and his mother had to work as a washerwoman.
		Andersen also tended to fall in love with unreachable women (most notably with Jenny Lind, the “Swedish nightingale”;), so his relationships with the opposite sex and with the upper classes was distinctly bittersweet.
		Andersen once wrote, “Most of what I have written is a reflection of myself” (Cech, 15), suggesting a biographical reading of the work would be appropriate.

		Hans Christian Andersen lived at several places in Copenhagen, but the attic room on the third floor of Vingårdstræde 6 is the only one of his former homes that still looks as if he had just stepped out of the door.

		Hans Christian Andersen is probably the most famous Dane in literary history, but his rise from poor, ambitious shoemaker's son to lauded, internationally renowned author was a troubled one.
		Fortunately, Hans Christian Andersen's talents as a writer began to pay off shortly thereafter, when a director for the Royal Theatre read one of the boy's plays and had Andersen schooled and tutored with the king's money, and by 1828, Andersen was attending the university in Copenhagen.
		Andersen always felt that due to the rigid class structure in his own country, his lowly birth would never permit the Danes to appreciate his work and his status the way that foreigners did.
