H. C. Andersen visits our booth

Hans Christian Andersen, better known as H. C. Andersen, was a world famous poet and author from Odense in Denmark, most famous for his fairy tales. He was born in 1805 and died in 1875. Did you know that many of his fairy tales were published in the U.S. before they were published in his home country, Denmark ? His fairy tales have been translated into more than 100 languages, and continue to be published in millions of copies all over the world.

Our great friend from New York, Rolf Stang was dressed as H. C. Andersen at the Høstfest, and here he has a visit with Bjørg Monsen from Skien and Lauretta Hansen from Oungre in Saskatchewan.
