Author Biography

One of the most prolific and beloved writers of all time, Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen is best known for his fairy tales. Born in Odense, Denmark, in 1805, Andersen published his first story at 17. In all, he wrote more than 150 stories before his death in 1875.

Edmond Dulac (1882–1953) was born in Toulouse, France. He attended art classes at the École des Beaux Arts, and then in 1903, he won a scholarship to the Académie Julien in Paris. His first commission, at the age of only 22, was to illustrate the collected works of the Brontë sisters. Dulac became one of the most memorable and recognizable illustrators of the early twentieth century, and his illustrations for The Little Mermaid remain among the most iconic images for this story.
