But Andersen was destined to become a talented Danish author of fairy tales and children’s stories himself, writing popular stories like The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling. Andersen was extremely popular in his time, making friendships with royalty and writers like Charles Dickens while his works were translated into over 100 languages worldwide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIronically, the work for which Andersen is best remembered was one of his least popular at first. In 1835, Andersen published his Fairy Tales for the first time, but they sold poorly, even while Andersen’s novel Only a Fiddler fared well. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition of The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Andersen is specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with pictures of the Andersen, his life, and work.","brand":"Charles River Editors","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174418661616,"sku":"2940013450189","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013450189_p0.jpg?v=1763581580","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013450189","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
