A review by ljrinaldi
Hans Christian Andersen: The Journey of His Life by Heinz Janisch
4.0
I thought I knew the story of Hans Christian Anderson, but this cute, lovely illustrated picture book proved me wrong. I had never heard that he wanted to be an actor, or that his father was a cobbler.
The story, told from the point of view of the author to a young child, with both scenes of his life, as well as scenes from his many stories. The scenes of his childhood are colored in sepia tone, while his stories are in full color.
The little girl, in the book, asks the sort of questions that a child might have, such as "what happened next".
A good introduction to the author's life, for young children.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
