Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Hans Christian Andersen or H. C. Andersenis best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersens popularity is not limited to children; his stories, called eventyr in Danish, express themes that transcend age and nationality. His fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the Wests collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include "The Emperors New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling", "Thumbelina", and many more. His stories have inspired ballets, both animated and live-action films, and plays.
