Famous for his fairy tales, HCA was also a very fine draughtsmman. This lovely and useful calendar book is decorated with sketches and pen and ink drawings from Andersen’s travels within Europe and the Middle East. Also included is a text about Andersen’s travels and his artwork. Calendar of drawings by Denmark’s great storyteller Hans Christian Andersen. He is loved for his immortal fairy tales. But his merits as a travel author are by no means insignificant. From his numerous travels he brought back his visual experiences stored in pen and ink sketches. A selection of these drawings have become the mark of this calendar, in which each of the twelve months of the year has been illustrated with a poetic sketch.
