AUTHOR
HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN was born in Denmark in 1805
and trained as an actor before starting to write. During his
lifetime he achieved international success both as a play-
wright and novelist but it is his fairy tales that have
become loved by children and adults around the world;
in particular The Little Match Girl, The Little Mermaid, The
Ugly Duckling and The Snow Queen. Andersen died in
1875 but his achievements are celebrated in the award
that bears his name, the Hans Christian Andersen Medal.

Can Gerdas courage and determination
