Hans Andersen was a quiet child. He would sit for hours in the backyard, inventing stories for his toy theater. He wanted to be an actor and a singer, but everyone said he would never do well on the stage. Instead he became a storyteller. His marvelous fairy tales, full of jokes and magic, have entranced children ever since.
