A Story about Hans Christian Anderson

From the Series Creative Minds Biographies

  • Interest Level: Grade 4 - Grade 8
  • Reading Level: Grade 5

Young Hans Christian knew how life should be—just like a fairy tale. But, while he was growing up in Odense, Denmark, his life didn’t seem much like a fairy tale. Although everyone was telling him to stop daydreaming and find a job in a trade, he found fame writing fairy tales like “The Little Mermaid,” “Princess on the Pea,” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” A Fairy-Tale Life tells the story of Hands Christian Andersen, the world’s best-loved teller of tales.
