250th Birthday of Hans Christian Andersen (thank you Google)


I love fairy-tales and grew up reading the brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen .
Reading was my escape as a young girl. When the world around me was chaotic and dysfunctional my books would transport me to a different world full of wonders and fantastic stories.

I love fairy tales myself. I still read the Brothers' Grimm whenever I am feeling down and want to be transported to the Otherworld.

I read those as well and loved them. I do think I believed in them a little bit too much, though. Pure escapism for a little kid.

As a child reading was my favorite thing to do (before I discovered art at 10 y. old) and my illustrated bible and fairy tales where I kept coming back too. A heart-warming illustration/painting -do you know who it is from?
