520 |a "He brought to life stories and characters that millions have loved: A one-legged tin soldier who yearned for love. A poor little match girl. A mermaid who gave up her voice for a prince. But who was Hans Christian Andersen? He was a 'strange child.' An ugly duckling. Even his mother said so. He didn't seem to think like, or look like, anyone around him. But while his tender heart as bruised by ridicule, it responded by driving an unstoppable urge to create, to entertain. If he couldn't act, he would dance, if he couldn't dance he would sing, and if he couldn't sing... well, maybe he had stories to tell. With each rejection and defeat, Hans would soothe himself by making art with scissors and whatever was handy. A bit of cloth, a piece of paper. Until one day... Structured like a fairy tale, this is the story of how Hans Christian Andersen took all the parts of his life -- whether painful or transcendent -- and used them to create book that have touched children the world over."  |c Provided by publisher.
