Vänö and Glänö
Once upon a time there were two large islands off the coast of Zealand in Denmark: Vänö and Glänö. But a very long time ago, during a stormy night, Vänö was swallowed by the waves. Since then, the inhabitants of Glänö fear the day their island will also disappear because the legendary Vänö waits impatiently for Glänö to join it... Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.
