Hans Christian Andersen bol dánsky autor a básnik, najviac známy svojimi rozprávkami. Tieto príbehy, preložené do viac ako 125 jazykov, sa stali neoddeliteľnou súčasťou západnej kultúry. Hoci sú ľahko prístupné deťom, obsahujú lekcie o cnosti a odolnosti tvárou v tvár nepriazni osudu pre dospelých čitateľov. Jeho nadčasové rozprávky skúmajú témy, ktoré prekračujú vek aj národnosť a naďalej inšpirujú umenie aj film.
