Hans Christian Andersen was a prolific Danish author who was born in 1805. He passed away in 1875 after several years of illness in a house called Rolighed (which means calmness), which was the home of his friends the Melchiors who had taken care of him during the final period of his life.[1] He is best remembered for his fairy tales that present lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity.[2] His tales have been translated into almost 150 languages.[1] His stories, including The Little Mermaid and Thumbelina, have inspired live-action and animated films, ballets, books, and plays.
