As most of the people I have read or listen a tale from Hans Christian Andersen almost once in my life. I have never been very interested in tales, but I can´t deny the influence of this writer in childrens´ life all over Europe.
ReplyDeleteTwo years ago, I was in Copenhagen when this city was inmerse in the second centenary of his birth, and it was amazing how important are their works after all this time: 200 years and we can still read his tales.
Not too much people can do that....
