JMVINTAGE specializes in books, magazines and treasures related to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor...and other curious people. This Dust Jacket reads: Once upon a time a poor shoemaker's son lived in the town of Odense in Denmark..not for nothing did Hans Andersen entitle his autogiography"The Fairy Story of my life". He could never forget his humble birth, sometimes bemoaning it, sometimes boasting about ad even embroidering it. And indeed, to be born in a duckyard and yet to prove oneself a swan is an achievement at the best of times. Andersen was a paradox-exxentric and shy, het loving to be lionized; neurotic and excessively timid. but anenterprising traveller in remote places. The fairy tales, wihich Anersen himself insisted were 'just as much for older prople as for children', are a rich source of biographical material: the snail in 'The Snail and the Rosebush' is the philosopher Kierkegaard;; the singing bird in 'The Nightingale' is Jenny Lind, to whom he proposed; "The Ugly Duckling' itself is the story of his life, told with poetry and a touch of self-mockery. Reginald Spink, the translator who has come nearer than any other other real Andersen with " Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales and Stories, has written a remarkable study of this highly complex and enigmatic figure, aided by a wide range of contemporary illustrations. Mr. Spink is also the author of "The Youn Hans Andersen" and "The Land and People of Denmark" Hard Cover condition: Near Fine in Near Fine dj
