Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, he is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories express themes that transcend age and nationality. Andersen's fairy tales, consisting of 3,381 works and translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. His most famous fairy tales include "The Little Mermaid," "The Nightingale," "The Red Shoes," "The Snow Queen," "The Ugly Duckling," and "Thumbelina." His stories have inspired ballets, plays, and animated and live-action films.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Christmas Greeting Hate the very sound of it. It came into use when England was known as Merrie England, an appellation which seems more than singular to us who have to endure the inane dulness and melancholy stupidity of society as it exists in this present gloriously progressive motor-era. Looking round on the tired, worn, nervous, querulous faces in the crowds that fill the streets and shops at Christmas-time, - hearing the endless complaints, the new dis eases, the troubles, real and fancied, of each per son who can manage to detain a friend for five minutes' hurried and morbid conversation, reading the delectable details of suicide, murder, mania and misadventure preciously garnered up as gems of literature for the million by the halfpenny press - one may reasonably wonder.

It was so pale, the small eyes had closed themselves, and it drew its breath so softly, now and then, with a deep respiration, as if it sighed; and the mother looked still more sorrowfully on the little creature. Then a knocking was heard at the door, and in came a poor old, man wrapped up as m a large horse-cloth, for it warms one, and he needed it, as it was the cold winter season ! Every thing out of doors was covered with ice and snow, and the wind blew so that it cut the face. As the old man trembled with cold, and the little child slept a moment, the mother went and poured some ale into a pot and set it on the stove, that it might be warm for him; the old man sat and rocked the cradle, and the mother sat down on a chair close by him, and looked at her little sick child that drew its breath so deep, and raised its little hand. Do you not think that I shall save him ? said she, Our Lord will not take him from me! Arid the old man, it was Death himself, he nodded so strangely, it could just as well signify yes as no. And the mother looked down in her lap, and the tears ran down over her cheeks; her head became so heavyshe had not closed her eyes for three days and nights; and now she slept, but 6nly for a minute, when she started up and trembled with cold: What is that? said she, and looked on all sides; but the old man was gone, and her little child was gonehe had taken it with him; and the old clock in the corner burred, and burred, the great leadenweight ran down to the floor, bump! and then the clock also stood still. But the poor mother ran out of the house and cried aloud for her child. Out there, in the midst of the snow, ther...

HERE was once a fine gentleman, all of whose moveables were a bootjack and a haircomb: but he had the finest false collars in the world; and it is about one of these collars that we are now to hear a story. It was so old, that it began to think of marriage; and it happened that it came to be washed in company with a garter. "Nay!" said the collar, "I never did see anything so slender and so fine, so soft and so neat. May I not ask your name l" "That I shall not tell you!" said the "Where do you live V asked the collar. But the garter was so bashful, so modest, and thought it was a strange question to answer. "You are certainly a girdle," said the collar; "that is to say an inside girdle. I see well that you are both for use and ornament, my dear young lady." "I will thank you not to speak to me," said the garter. "I think I have not given the least occasion for it." "Yes! when one is as handsome as you," said the collar, "that is occasion enough." "Don't come so near me, I beg of you!" said the garter. "You look so much like those men-folks." "I am also a fine gentleman," said the collar. "I have a boot-jack and a hair-comb." But that was not true, for it was his master who had them: but he boasted. "Don't come so near me," said the garter: "I am not accustomed to it." "Prude !" exclaimed the collar; and then it was taken out of the washing-tub. It was starched, hung over the back of a chair in the sunshine, and was then laid on the ironingblanket; then came the warm box-iron. "Dear lady!" said the collar. "Dear widowlady! I feel quite hot. I am quite changed. I begin to unfold myself. You will burn a hole in me. Oh! I offer you my hand." "Rag!" said the box-iron; and went proudly over the collar: for she fancied she...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christmas Greetings: And Other Verses We shall all be better men if, in the temple where we preserve the memories of true and kindly souls, we retain a niche for the gracious personality of Showell Rogers. - The Rev. J. H. Jowett. HE years fleet by on such rapid wings that it is hard to realise that three have sped since Dr. Showell Rogers passed from our midst. Four Christmases have come and gone since his last message reached us. There were many who received that booklet of seasonable verse, and many who looked forward to such a gift for many Christmases to come and these it is who mourn not only the loss of a gracious personality, but the uncompleted promise of too short a life. The memory remains of a man whom it was indeed a privilege to know as a friend; and the regret deepens that his leaf perished in the green. We can but: conjecture what he might have ripened to, this ardent student, this richly-dowered soul; the inexorable Fates who, as with Lycidas, with the abhorred shears slit the thin-spun life, have made it impossible for the real value of his gifts to be appraised.
