famous writer tells vivid stories of his travel adventures - Rated
Anastasia Little, a native of Denmark, has trans-lated for the first time Andersen's accounts of his travels in Europe and the Mediterranean, meeting a fascinating and colorful cast of characters under circumstanceds which seem like another world to a reader today. a book full of unexpected oddities and beautiful descriptions which gives us Andersen in a new role as a social historian of arevolutionary epoch as Europe entered the industrial age and life began to change at a much more rapid pace. But all this is coincidental to the sheer enjoyment of discovering Andersden himself as a person telling a different kind of story, or rather many stories of a world that was his own reality.
