Hans Christian Andersen: My Life as a Fairytale
His world was magical. His legacy...immortal.
S01E02: Episode 2
Overview
The only child in a wretchedly poor family in the Danish village of Odense, Hans Christian Andersen lives in a fantasy world. His hand carved dolls and puppets, his father's bedtime stories, and his own natural flair for fantastic tales brings the child temporary escape. It takes him all the way to Copenhagen where, he's been told, dreams can really come true.
