Happy 205th Birthday Hans Christian Andersen! Thank you for your lovely fairy tales.
Below are some of my favorite Fairy Tales from Anderson which I squared them up for Squairy Tales: A graphic design project for various fairy tales, mainly useing square shapes.
Also, it is lovely to see today's google doodle commemorates Hans Christian Andersen's 250th birthday:
Google created 5 very cute doodles just for Andersen in remembrance of his birthday and contribution to the writing industry. Born on April 2, 1805, Hans Christian Andersen was known for his famous children’s stories. Among his works are "The Steadfast Tin Soldier”, “The Snow Queen”, “The Little Mermaid”, “Thumbelina”, “The Little Match Girl”, and the “The Ugly Duckling”.
If you enjoyed or perhaps love the said stories, then you owe the thanks to Mr. Andersen.
The childhood of Hans Christian Andersen begun in Odense, Denmark. His early works started in 1829. He also authored the “A Journey on Foot from Holmen’s Canal to the East Point of Amager”.
Andersen’s death was caused by a fall from his bed, where he got severely hurt and never fully recovered. He died on August 4, 1875. At his time of demise, he was already an internationally renowned and treasured artist.
Hans Christian Andersen left around 27 famous fairy tales, which are mostly in Danish.
