It’s celebrated on the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen, born April 2, 1805, in Denmark. Andersen made his fame from his imaginative fairy tales, such as “The Ugly Duckling,” “The Little Mermaid,” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes." He’d originally hoped to become an actor, but was unsuccessful. His poems caught the attention of King Frederick VI, who agreed to educate him at public expense, and then agreed to %£* an educational travel leave. “Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
