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.

The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen are distinct from those compiled by the Brothers Grimm. Not due to their content so much as their provenance. A little known fact among those who are familiar with the stories of little mermaids and ugly ducklings is that many of the most beloved stories penned by Andersen actually have their basis in his autobiography. Take that duckling that turns out to be a swan, for instance. Andersen grew up not just facing the ravages of poverty, but the ravages of a mother trying as best she could to deal with encroaching mental illness. Her attempts to impose a restrictive acceptance of conformity upon young Hans was done--like the mother duck''s--with the best of intentions. Just like the mother duck, the writer''s mother had no idea her perception was reality was not quite authentic.

"Andersen''s fairy tales" contains 18 of H.C. Andersen''s most notable fairy tales. The emperor''s new clothes -- The swineherd -- The real princess -- The shoes of fortune -- The fir tree -- The snow ...

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.
