But Andersen was destined to become a talented Danish author of fairy tales and children’s stories himself, writing popular stories like \u003ci\u003eThe Little Mermaid \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Ugly Duckling\u003c\/i\u003e. 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\u003e\u003cb\u003eIronically, the work for which Andersen is best remembered was one of his least popular at first. In 1835, Andersen published his \u003ci\u003eFairy Tales\u003c\/i\u003e for the first time, but they sold poorly, even while Andersen’s novel \u003ci\u003eOnly a Fiddler\u003c\/i\u003e fared well.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mythik Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47163326365936,"sku":"9781518365157","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781518365157_p0.jpg?v=1763729462","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781518365157","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
