Travels

"Hans Christian Andersen made over twenty-nine journeys abroad. In his homeland and elsewhere in Europe, he is well known for the books describing these journeys." "Translator Anastazia Little has gathered much of this travel writing, which shows him accumulating ideas for his stories in the midst of foreign settings, agonizing over adverse criticism, and displaying a near neurotic concern for his health - all of which makes for fascinating and entertaining reading."--BOOK JACKET.
