Beloved Danish author (1805–1875) best known for such classic fairy tales as The Ugly Duckling, The Red Shoes, and The Emperor’s New Clothes.

Andersen, Dresden, 24 August 1857.” In full (translated): “Life is the most beautiful fairytale.” Additional untranslated AQSs by Berthold Auerbach and Wilhelm Wolfsohn are penned below.
