An Interesting fact about Hans Christian Andersen

in hans •  6 years ago 

Today I learned that Hans Christian Andersen (who wrote "The Little Mermaid") once hosted Charles Dickens (who wrote "Oliver Twist") and refused to leave for five weeks.

One day Dickens found Andersen lying on the lawn in the yard, sobbing, because of the unflattering reviews he received in the paper.
