The biography of Hans Christian Andersen is illuminatedlove of the theater. His favorite game was a home puppet theater, where "actors" were homemade wooden dolls with patchwork garments. The boy for them came up with more and more new performances. But Hans learned to write and read only in 10 years. This was preceded by the following story. When his father gave up studying to the glover's widow a few years earlier, that somehow (as was customary in the eighteenth century) punished him with rods. He did not tolerate violence.

Further biography of Hans Christian Andersenagain becomes like a fairy tale. As his mother later recalled, a fortune teller in her presence, predicting the fate of her son, reported on the glory, about the monument in her lifetime. Once a puppet theater arrived in the town needed an episodic actor-extras for the role of coachman. Hans happily used this opportunity. Giving home puppet shows in well-to-do Odense houses, he enlisted a letter of recommendation from the colonel in order to realize his dream of becoming an actor in the Royal Theater. Having bought his boots with money, fourteen-year-old Andersen went to Copenhagen. His mother allowed him to leave, hoping that soon Hans would return, because in the capital they had no relatives or acquaintances. Having told him about this, she asked the question: "Why are you going?" The teenager replied laconically and exhaustively: "To become famous!"
The dream came true:first out of pity, and also thanks to the "theatrical" voice, the boy was accepted for episodic roles. When Hans turned into a young man, and his voice "broke", he was disappointed - dismissal from the theater for lack of prospects. But he was already noticed, thanks to an unusual fantasy. Familiar with the theater, the poet Ingemann, revealed the essence of the talent of Hans Christian Andersen - to be able to see for yourself and show your readers "in the gutter pearl." A talented boy was noticed and, through a satisfied petition to King Frederick VI, was given an opportunity to get an education for a state kost. Now Hans was full, dressed, and there was a roof over his head. But the awkward young man, chronically "not friends" with grammar, constantly attacked the critics of teachers and fellow students, who were younger for six years. The great storyteller just wrote with grammatical errors until the end of his days!
