The Perfect Wizard

Yolen, Jane.
THE PERFECT WIZARD : HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON
New York : Dutton Children's Books, 2004.
IL K-3, RL 4.3
ISBN 0525469559
I just love fairy tales. Some of my favorites are The Princess and the Pea,
the Ugly Duckling and Thumbelina. Do you know who wrote these fairy
tales? None other than Hans Christian Andersen. Do you ever wonder
where authors get their ideas? Are their stories based on things in their
real lives? Author Jane Yolen tells us about Andersen's life and shows us
how his work reflects the things that happened to him.
