    Hans Christian Andersen

    Hans Christian Andersen was born in Odense, Denmark, in 1805. He endured a lonely, impoverished childhood consoled by little more than his own imagination. He escaped to a theatre life in Copenhagen aged 14 where the support of a powerful patron enabled him to complete his scant education, and to write. His poetry, novels and travel books became hugely popular. But it was his Fairy Tales, the first children's stories of their kind, published in instalments from 1835 until the time of his death in 1875, that have immortalised him. Translated into more than 100 languages and adapted to every kind of media, they have made Andersen the most important children's writer in history.

      BY the beginning of the 18th century, Norwich had overtaken York as England’s second city in terms of wealth and population, so it seems rather strange that its assay office closed in 1702. It had first marked silver in the 1560s, just after York, wh

      Alice: Curiouser And Curiouser

      Jul 15, 2021

      Lewis Carroll’s two Alice books were probably the first introduction for many of us to the weird and wonderful, to absurdity and contradiction, to the Other. The young Charles Dodgson’s headmaster wrote that the 12-year-old was “marvellously ingeniou

      With its cast of weird and wonderful characters, and bizarre goings-on, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was a sensation when it was published in 1865. Up to that point, children’s books had often been lecturing and moralising. Alic

      The illustrations fit the stories in this book so beautifully. I have always loved the stories of Hans Christian Andersen and loved reading new ones that I had not yet heard of.
