Hans Christine Andersen (1805-1875), a famous Danish fairy tale writer of the 19th century, was both one of the representative figures of fairy tales in world literature and a devout Christian, known as the "sun of world children's literature".

When he was 11 years old, his father died of illness and his mother remarried. In pursuit of art, he came to copenhagen alone at the age of 14.
