Anderson (安徒生), a Danish （丹麦） writer, is famous for his fairy tales（童话）. Both children and adults love his stories. For example, The Ugly Duckling is well-known to people around the world. In fact, Andersen used to be an ugly duckling when he was young.
In 1805, Andersen was born into a poor family in Denmark. As a young boy, he was tall and ugly and had a very big nose. His friends always made jokes about his big nose. Later, because of his father's death, little Andersen had to make a living by himself. He once worked as a dressmaker and made money in a theater.
The difficulties in life helped him create his fairy tales. In The Little Mermaid, he talked about love and sacrifice(牺牲. In Emperor's（皇帝的） New Clothes, He made fun of the authority(权威).
Besides creating stories, Andersen also loved travelling. His famous saying was, "To travel is to live."
Today, Andersen's fairy tales have been printed into over 100 languages. The Hans Christian Andersen Award is named after him. It's the highest award to give a writer of children's books.
