Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stories and Tales The present volume of Hans Christian Andersen´s "Stories ind Tales" is the complement of the volume entitled "Wonder Stories told for Children." It was found impossible to bring all of his shorter stories and fancies within the compass of a single volume, and in making the division some regard was had to that which he has himself several times pointed out, - that his stories are sometimes pure inventions of fancy and sometimes have their root in historic incidents or events, and scenes of which he has been cognizant. At the same time, any one who made the attempt to separate these writings exactly upon such a line would find, as Andersen himself has said, that after all one must accept the undiscriminating term of popular usage and call them all stories. Thus the companion volume is not all fancy, and this is not all fact; the elements are mingled, and reasons of convenience have sometimes caused a manifest departure from the rule laid down. Still, in a rough way, the two volumes do each represent strongly one and the other of these elements. In the twenty-seventh volume of his "Collected Writings, Andersen has given a number of notes with a view to presenting briefly the origin and succession of his lesser stones. As such comments by an author on his own work are never devoid of interest, it has been thought expedient to reproduce hem in this place. At Christmas, 1829, there was published a little collection of poems, which closed with a wonder story given in prose, "The Ghost"; it was one which I had heard as a child, and now told in a manner something like Musæus, but it did not take until several years after, when it appeared in another shape as "The Travelling Companion."
