It will definitely be childhood if those who are living life and those who are ending life yearn for a season again. One reason is that there will be no other harassment in that childhood full of childish talk and false laughter.Another reason is that the season can only float in the imagination without any restraint. Can wing in the dream. Take a look back at your childhood.That’s what fairy tales are all about. Fair tales are a collection of wonderful fairy tales that often tell little justices and ideas with wild animals as characters. To this day we are about to meet a noble man who controls children all over the world and gives us those famous myths that have fascinated children. He is the famous Danish-born storyteller Hans Christian Andersen.
Christian Anderson was born on April 2, 1805, in Denmark. His father was a poor shoemaker. He lived a slum life. Daily his father would read him many stories. Anderson was very thin and unclean when he was a child. The parents could not send him to school due to lack of sufficient income.Children have a lot of dreams as a child, don’t they? Anderson also had a dream that he would become a great singer. He left home at the age of 11 and moved to the Danish capital, Copenhagen, to live in poverty and seek opportunities.Copenhagen tried to impress people by singing many songs in the streets. But he only wanted to sing, but he did not have the voice or the wisdom to do so. Realizing it in a few days, Anderson wanted to impress people by dancing to music. In that he was defeated.But his desire to do something and become famous and the best efforts he made for it brought him an unexpected reward. Frederick VI, then King of Denmark, saw the efforts of Anderson, a figure he knew, and asked his uncle to help him with his education.The king also arranged for Anderson to receive an education. As an adult, Anderson began writing about children. In 1828 he wrote the excellent comedy ‘A Journey on Foot’ which was full of laughter and entertainment. 7 years later, his best-selling novel ‘The Improvisatore’ brought him immense popularity.The King of Denmark praised his talent and provided Anderson with the financial support he needed to travel throughout Europe. During his travels he had the opportunity to meet various famous people. He later presented many famous works such as Thumbelina, The Little Mermaid, The Emperor’s New Clothes, Picture-Book without Pictures, The Tinderbox and the famous Fairy Tales.He wrote about 350 stories in his lifetime. The fictional ‘Fairy Tales’ he wrote in Anderson’s works brought him world fame. One of those fictions is ‘The ugly duckling’ which means ugly duckling. One duck in that story was worried that he was not as beautiful as the other ducks. After that the duck turns into an Egret.There is not much difference between the life of Hans Christian Andersen and that story. Anderson was also very concerned about his image in his childhood. But with the blessing of the King of Denmark he gained self-confidence and completely forgot the inferiority complex and took an indelible place in the lives of the children.He has expressed in many of his stories the beautiful idea that no person should be judged by appearances and that their instincts are beautiful.
Anderson fell in love twice in his life. But the two were head over heels in love. He died of loneliness on August 4, 1875, at the age of 70, when his life may have ended in solitude. But it is the ‘Fairy Tales’ stories that he has created that have taken care of the lives of children around the world without loneliness.Those stories were written with the intention of making people, especially children, laugh and think, ‘The Fairy Tales’. It was Anderson’s lofty thought that a very sad childhood like his should not happen to others. Every year, Denmark celebrates his birthday as ‘Odin’s story day’ in his memory, bringing joy to the children of the world.He has always been passionate about buying new products. However, due to his poverty, he was not able to afford what he wanted. Poverty is the lifeblood of many achievers.The same poverty has befallen him. But history remembers people like Hans Christian Andersen only because it proved that poverty has nothing to do with talent. Vida’s effort and self – confidence in writing many of his ‘fictions’ have been translated into more than a hundred languages.He has proved to the world through his life that there is a limit to poverty but no limit to talent. Like Hans Christian Andersen, we can achieve our lofty goal if we capitalize on talent and work diligently and confidently, regardless of poverty.
