I'm Hans Christian Andersen by Rachel Rose Reid

signed

paperback

On the radio they said that Hans Christian Andersen wrote the Little Mermaid whilst he was avoiding the wedding of the person he loved. I thought 'that doesn't sound like a story that involves singing lobsters'. So I picked a book from my shelf, I sat down at the table, and I began to read.

And as I read the stories, I remembered where I first heard them. You know how that is? You open one memory and a thousand more pour out.
