Just living is not enough’, said the butterfly, ‘one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.’ It’s obvious that this Danish writer had an extremely fertile imagination. Although he wrote many adult books, he loved narrating children’s stories. When he was seven years of age, Hans Christian Andersen's official father was paid to serve in the Napoleonic wars, in place of a local landowner. He returned four years later, a broken man, and died in the Spring. Hans's mother was now destitute, with few choices as she was illiterate, so she took in washing, standing waist deep for hours in the icy river, trying to stay warm by taking nips of schnapps. Two years later she married another shoemaker, who took no interest in the young Hans.
Ephesians 2:10 ” For we are Gods handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Hans Christian Andersen Quotes About Life

This mare taught Whitney how to trust, how to ride, that speed is fun. whitney overcame many obstacles when it comes to riding and its because of this mare right here!! only 7 years old and she’s NEVER been strapped in and now she running 2d-3d-4d times and thats because of this mare. but mist of all, this mare taught whitney the true meaning of love. whitney would sit outside and wash her, talk to her, groom her, clean her stall, do anything and everything for this mare and never think twice because she LOVED her. you could see the love and respect they had for one another! the connection between them will never die. it will always be there! Timothy 1:7 “For the spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us Power, Love, and Self-discipline.” Hans Christian Andersen's tales seem to have universal appeal, no matter what language they are read in. His stories express themes that transcend age and nationality—often presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity. They are written in a very chatty intimate style, which won him no favours from his original literary critics, who considered this tone inappropriate. But once he found his voice, he found he could not stop writing them, saying, "They forced themselves from me". A friend once expostulated, "You're capable of writing about anything - even a darning needle!" And sure enough, the author rose to the challenge, in his story entitled "The Darning Needle". The stories are clearly cathartic, but also full of beauty, tragedy, nature, religion, artfulness, deception, betrayal, love, death, judgement and penance. And—very occasionally—one has a happy ending. This is the first story in the collection that I don't remember having heard before. And it is absolutely fabulous. Quite darker than the ones that preceded it as well. To call it the Danish "Rumplestiltskin" doesn't quite do it justice, and I actually think I liked it better than that famous Grimm Brothers' tale. One can once again see evidence of Andersen's suppressed desires in the Snowman's desperately wanting to be with the Stove. Something that European society at the time would have certainly found most unnatural.
the next app I use is FACETUNE. depending on the picture I go in and just do some finishing touches and just enhance details! Delightfully poetic. This is the first of Andersen's stories in this collection to feature inanimate objects brought to life. I'd never noticed how clearly Andersen influenced later films like "Toy Story" until I read this story about the quite appropriately named Steadfast Tin Soldier.No Bleaching my hair, No cutting my hair, No tape in or bead extensions!! No damaging my hair AT ALL!!!
The Little Match Girl,The Princess and the Pea,The Tin Soldierand The Little Mermaid:these are just some of the most famous fairy-tales by Hans Christian Andersen. Altogether, he wrote around a 160 tales, which were publishedin eight volumesfrom 1835 to 1848 and have been translated into over 120 languages. Hans Christian Andersen's first writing projects included a play, a book of poetry and a travelogue. The promising young author then won a grant from the king, and this enabled him to travel across Europe and work on being an author. He wrote a novel about his time in Italy, which was published in 1835, the same year as he began writing his stories—called "eventyr", or "fairy tales"—and often based on ideas from folk tales that he had heard or read as a child.Many of his stories wereconverted into plays,filmedor made into musicals,and even inspiredpopular animated pictureslike Ariel.Andersen's fairy tales are part of world literature today. Hans Christian Andersen in 1860 Image: picture-alliance/Glasshouse Images This year is the year. I am taking advantage of all opportunities that come my way, i am doing what makes me happy, i am focusing on myself this year. Hebrews 4:16 ” Let us then approach Gods throne of Grace with confidence, so we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Corinthians 12:9 ” But he said to me,”My grace is sufficient to you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ power can rest on me.”
This is a sort of story within a story, one involving matches and some dishware, and the other the titular trunk and a Turkish engagement. If only our rich merchant's son could have resisted the urge to set off those fireworks... Life is beautiful and full of so many amazing paths and sights to see and ways to learn and there is no way to know what the future will hold or what roads my fabulous journey will take me down. And if i take a different path altogether, so be it. The thing about a journey is you never know what to expect, it’s full of wonderful mysteries and to me- that’s the most amazing part. You never know what you’ll see around the corner, or who you’ll meet or the sights youll see. My earthly destination will always be home- wherever that may be, and you can bet that i plan on seeing some things before i get there.

Andersen had an unhappy childhood. His father died when he was only 11 years old, which forced him to quit school and start working. Although his mother was very kind, she was an alcoholic. Perhaps all of this encouraged him to become an avid reader, especially of Shakespeare’s work. The author called his autobiography "The Fairy Tale of my Life", and indeed his life reads like a traditional fairy tale. Think what the blurb might be: Hans Christian Andersen may have been the illegitimate son of Crown Prince Christian Frederik, later Christian VIII, and the teenage countess Elise Ahlefeldt-Laurvig. He was born in 1805 at Broholm Castle near Odense. Both Hans Christian Andersen's official parents worked at the castle, his "mother" as a nursemaid, and his "father", a cobbler for the family. There had also been a precedent for an illegitimate daughter (Fanny) to have been adopted by another servant of the Royal family a year earlier. Yes, this is a 5-star story to be sure. More folk than fairy, this tale is in fact based on an older Danish folktale that Andersen transformed with his characteristic wit. It features an A+ decapitation and glorious references to sugar-pigs, cake-wives, and social status. It's stupendous.
