Hans Christian Andersen and Music
Hans Christian Andersen was the most prominent Danish author of the nineteenth century.

Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales. Second Series
Hans Andersen's Fairy Tales. Second Series is a collection of fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen. Andersen was a Danish author and poet mostly known for his fairy tales for children.

Happy, indeed, were these children; but they were not long to remain so, for their father, the king, married a queen who did not love the children, and who proved to be a wicked sorceress."
