Spotlight: Which is your favorite Hans Christian Andersen tale? “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Little Mermaid” or, maybe, “Thumbelina“? Born on this date in 1805, Andersen wrote poetry, travel books, plays and novels, as well as the fairy tales that made him so famous and so beloved. He had hoped to be an actor and had his first walk-on role in an opera in 1821. An actor who tutored Andersen privately advised him to find another career path.

Quote: “Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.”Hans Christian Andersen
