PRINCE OF FAIRY TALE WEAVERS.
ANDERSEN'S EARLY
STRUGGLES.
What kind of man is it who can weave fairy dories which are read by the children of every country In the world year after year, and will be so read while time lasts!
A book has been juúblished which gives a picture of the prince of fairy tale spinners. Hans An- dersen, the M. is the title of the book by Elith Reumert, trans- inted from the Danish by Jessie Brochner (Methuen and Co., Ltd., 10s. 8d.).
|
Andersen's early days were lived in an atmosphere of grinding poverty. His father was a poor Danish shoemaker, a victim of melancholia; his mother, a large, WOMAN, none-too-sober ignorant, took in washing for the town His grandfather was insant, a pathetic figure who decked his hair with flowers and feathers.
