Book Description
Once upon a time there was a man who knew how to tell stories better than anyone – until the day he knew no more. Even though he spent the whole day looking for stories, he still had no story to tell when he came home in the evening. But another discovery allowed him to meet someone who could perhaps help him! Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

Book Description
A broken wing in song through this leaving forest blooms like exodus as upon and within the eye of a cloud. This dusting of glory as she folds those wings to all will fade of health and ever lost. All the diamonds in the deep was for something far more akin to this darkness as below the rotting wood lay two forgotten children. Their teeth and claws having dug out a hole so vast and unforgiving where both did shimmer and fold to the mirrored image of this existence. Moth winged and scattered to the former destruction of the bog whereas under flesh gave to this skin a city of incredible make. Surrene tried but she could not bring him from the pull as the bow string took row after row of the taller shields, sand then crawling up the massive frame as to an eagle in flight would mark away this bird only to pluck her son from the coming dark. A dream slow to open as only one more overlapped this fall back into the abyss.
