Hcandersen.dk – who, how and which terms of use?<\/h1>\n

Hcandersen.dk is made by experts from the Hans Christian Andersen Center at the University of Southern Denmark<\/a> in the poet’s native town of Odense. The texts are drawn from the 18 volume printed edition of Andersen’s complete works published between 2003 and 2007 under the title ANDERSEN. H.C. Andersens samlede v\u00e6rker<\/em>. The head editor Klaus P. Mortensen published the edition on behalf of The Danish Society of Language and Literature (Det Danske Sprog- og Litteraturselskab).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The English translation<\/div>

The English translation<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
Andersen’s fairy tales and stories have been translated into English many times, but the results have often left much to be desired. For this reason, the University of Southern Denmark asked John Irons to translate all the fairy tales and stories into English. This complete edition from 2022 includes several stories beyond the classical 157 tales and preserves many of the nuances and layers for adult readers that have so often been lost in prior translations.
The translation is published under the licence: Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International. Commercial use is not permitted without prior authorisation.

This is the first full English edition both made by a professional translator who is fluent in both English and Danish and<\/em> available free-of-charge. John Irons has collaborated closely with Jacob B\u00f8ggild and Mads Sohl Jessen from the Hans Christian Andersen Center.
In 2024, John received the Hans Christian Andersen Award for his translation.

The Illustrations<\/div>

Illustrations from Museum Odense<\/h2>\n

More than 20 fairy tales and stories are accompanied by illustrations. The illustrations are scans of originals in the collections of Museum Odense. Most of the originals have been included in printed illustrated editions. Some illustrations have not been published in print and some are published here for the first time. Enjoy the watercolours by Queen Margrethe II. from 1986 for “The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweeper” or dwell on Oskar Klever’s illustrations of “The Dryad”, “The Red Shoes”, “The Bell Deep” and “Wee Willie Winkie (Ole Luk\u00f8je)”. The illustrations have been selected by Lotte M.A. Nielsen. She has also written about the scope and profile of six notable artists in the virtual exhibit “A World of Pictures” (in Danish, “En verden af Billeder)”<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
