Hans Christian Anderson

Hans Christian Anderson was a guy who lived a long time ago , in a land far far away (Denmark)

He didn’t speak english , and his stories were kind of scary . Quite a far cry from the stories you hear now .

Though many stories are based on his original tales , they have often been altered enough so as not to be so scary or quite so horrid as they once were .

For example the story of the Snowman , or the Little Match Girl, or the soldoer returning from war ajnd murders a witch .

These stories were to entain adults more than to entertain children .
