What is practicular of G.H.Andersen’s literary tales

• Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, Denmark, in 1805. His father, also called Hans, was a cobbler. His mother, Anne Marie Anderstatter, was an illiterate laundress. Although the family struggled financially, both of Andersen’s parents doted on him, and his father in particular is attributed with introducing him to literature by reading him the Arabian tales of A Thousand and One Nights.
• The Andersen family were impoverished and lived a hand-to-mouth existence, something Andersen carried with him throughout his life. Andersen was shy as a child, and utterly fascinated with the theatre. He often shunned the company of other children to play with puppets or write plays. He attended school, but for the poorer families in the area. He recounts in one of the 4 autobiographies that he wrote in his lifetime, This is the True Story of my Life, that his grandmother worked in a psychiatric hospital, where he heard folktales from the ladies in the spinning room.
• When his father died in 1816, his mother had no choice but to send him to work against his will. When he was 11, he worked in factories. One of those was a tobacco factory, which is said to have caused him lung damage. After this, he was allowed to stay at home in order to make money from singing in the homes of well-off families. He was known as the ‘little nightingale of Odense’ on account of his beautiful singing voice. This was Andersen’s first taste of high society, as he was invited into the living rooms of the wealthy to perform and entertain.
