"Wullschlager, a journalist and the author of a study of English children's literature, has written an exemplary book: informed, sympathetic, lucid. With scholarly diligence and critical insight, she allows us to discover the real Andersen for the first time." "Principally, of course, Wullschlager's meticulously researched and beautifully written book investigates what sort of man Hans Christian Andersen of Denmark actually was. Beyond this, however, Wullschlager's book asks us to reconsider more generally the abiding power of our earliest cultural experiences. By prompting us to revisit Andersen's work through sets of overlapping frames...Wullschlager implicitly asks us to pay heed to the works of other writers and artists who words leave a powerful imprint on our growing minds." "[A] fascinating, moving, and frequently funny biography..." "A well-researched biography....solid and worthwhile." AnnotationA biography of the Danish author best known for creating such classic stories as "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Emperor's New Clothes." Using Andersen's own diaries and letters, the author reveals Andersen's frustration over the fact that his stories were written for adults but were known as children's fairy tales. The author ultimately presents Andersen as a lonely and frustrated figure who got little joy out of life despite his gift for creating memorable characters and stories.
