His fairytale life : a book about Hans Christian Andersen / Jane Yolen ; illustrations by Brooke Boynton-Hughes.
Summary:
"It's impossible to imagine a world without Hans Christian Andersen. From snow queens to besotted mermaids, ugly ducklings to little match girls, his stories have left an indelible mark that spans generations, nations, and languages. But once, he was a child. Come along back to the beginning, and meet the boy before he became a legend, and the legend who, in his heart, always remained a boy. Appropriately penned by Jane Yolen, whom Newsweek once called "the Hans Christian Andersen of America," and lushly illustrated by Brooke Boynton-Hughes, His Fairytale Life is as immersive and transporting as all good fairy tales should be."-- Dust jacket flap.
