There came a soldier marching down the high road-one, two! one, two! He had his knapsack on his back and his sword at his side as he came home from the wars. On the road he met a witch, an ugly old witch, a witch whose lower lip dangled right down on her chest. "Good evening, soldier," she said. "What a fine sword you''ve got there, and what a big knapsack. Aren''t you every inch a soldier! And now you shall have money, as much as you please." "That''s very kind, you old witch," said the soldier.

Once, there was a Prince who wanted to marry a Princess. Only a real one would do. So he traveled through all the world to find her, and everywhere things went wrong. There were Princesses aplenty, but how was he to know whether they were real Princesses? There was something not quite right about them all. So he came home again and was unhappy, because he did so want to have a real Princess.

Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems. But he is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen''s fairy tales have become culturally embedded in the West''s collective consciousness. These spellbinding tales have enchanted adults and children for almost 200 years, featuring quirky characters, poignant plots and a range of important morals.

The fairy stories of Hans Christian Andersen are distinct from those compiled with the aid of the Brothers Grimm. Not because of their content material a lot as their provenance. A little known truth amongst individuals who are acquainted with the testimonies of little mermaids and unsightly ducklings is that some of the maximum beloved testimonies penned by way of Andersen virtually have their foundation in his autobiography. Take that duckling that turns out to be a swan, as an example.Andersen grew up not simply dealing with the ravages of poverty, however the ravages of a mom attempting as great she should to cope with encroaching intellectual illness. Her tries to impose a restrictive popularity of conformity upon younger Hans become carried out-just like the mother duck''s-with the first-rate of intentions. Just like the mother duck, the writer''s mom had no concept her perception became reality became no longer pretty actual.The autobiographical idea of The Red Shoes is greater direct: they have been born out of his obsessive interest to the pronounced squeaking which issued forth from his new boots offered mainly to put on at some point of his church affirmation rite. The attention interested in the squeaky boots essentially allowed them to take on an existence of their very own, just like the title shoes of his fairy story which in turn stimulated a traditional movie.Andersen''s fairy stories have retained their strength to enchant in large part by using virtue of delineating standard themes. If the universality of the memories are capable of making character connections with readers across a broad range of social strata, it must no longer be at all unexpected they spring from non-public revel in. Anderson turned into a creator committed to the purity of literary creation. He grew embittered looking less talented writers revel in extra reputation and success with the aid of appealing to fads. Why wouldn''t the sort of creator eventually conceive a tale like "The Emperor''s New Clothes"?The stress of innocence that constantly come truth to stand with the deceptive nature of the person international that recurs in the fairy memories of Hans Christian Andersen talk to a mature mind that never lost touch with the ache of youth. A ache that greater palpable and tangible within the autobiographical worlds of Andersen''s Snow Queen and Tin Soldier than within the worlds of Cinderella and Snow White assembled by the Grimms, however created by way of others.

The king’s daughter decided to marry the man who could best arrange his words. Two brothers, full of hope and well-prepared, set out to ask for her hand, when suddenly the third brother, Jack, joined them. They were surprised and laughed at him because he could not be as intelligent and know as much as they did and, of course, the princess would never marry Jack the Dullard...
