In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of Hans
Christian Andersen, the father of fairy tales.
When Hans Christian Andersen was a little boy, he treated storybooks as
jewels to be treasured. He wanted to perform on stage, but was always
cast as the troll. Luckily, through theater, he found a love for
writing. He wrote about both the ordinary and fantastic, in stories like
"The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Mermaid," never talking down to
children. This enchanting book features stylish and quirky
illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a
biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile
of the writer's life.
