Depths of a Storyteller

You probably know it’s the 205th anniversary of Hans Christian Andersen’s birth.

But did you know he was a wizard with scissors as well as with pen? He always carried a pair with him and created visual tales whenever the muse moved him.

“If you looked down to the bottom of my soul, you would understand fully the source of my longing and—pity me. Even the open, transparent lake has its unknown depths, which no divers know.”
—Hans Christian Andersen in a letter to Edvard Collin
