{"product_id":"my-fairy-tale-life-hans-christian-andersen-9781907650574","title":"My Fairy-Tale Life","description":"Hans Christian Andersen had every right to think of his life as a fairy tale. He came from the lowest strata of society in the then little provincial town of Odense, went to Copenhagen at the age of 14, made his own way there and rose to the highest levels of European society as the friend of kings and princes. \u003cbr\u003eIn his autobiography, the story of his \"fairy-tale life\", he gives a vivid account of the Danish provincial life he knew as a child, of life in Danish aristocratic circles and in European high society. He met all the leading authors and composers of his time and was one of the most widely travelled writers of his day. His travels took him as far east as Constantinople, and as far north as Loch Lomond, and his account of all this includes sketches of many of the leading figures of 19th-century Europe. \u003cbr\u003eToday he must surely be the most famous Dane of all time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Christian Andersen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907650571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907650574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dedalus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 514\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.00w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2014 pg. 48","brand":"Hans Christian Andersen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986364989695,"sku":"9781907650574","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_253c4c1a-9f3a-445a-841d-8a83fb690398.jpg?v=1683282933","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-fairy-tale-life-hans-christian-andersen-9781907650574","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
