The series of sketches of "What the Moon Saw" arose from the experiences of Andersen, when as a youth he went to seek his fortune in Copenhagen. Uniquely, the story is split into 33 short parts, each describing unrelated scenes witnessed by the Moon as it travels around the world, looking down at its inhabitants over the course of some fifty or so nights. Fittingly for a tale told entirely after sunset, the tone is dark... 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.

When my heart feel* tne mo it warmly, and my emotions are the noblest, it is as if my hands and my tonaue were tied; I cannot describe, I cannot express my own inward state; an DEGREES yet I am a painter; my eye tells me so; and every one who has seen my sketches and my tablets acknowledges it. I am a poor youth; I live over theie in one of the narrowest streets, but I have no want of light, because I live up aloft, with a view over all the house-tops. The first day 1 came into the city it seemed to me so confined and lonesome; instead of the woods and the M green breezy heights, I had only the grey chimneys as far as I could see. I did not possess one friend here; not a single face which I Knew saluted me. One evening, very much depressed in mind, 1 stood at my window; I opened it and look ed out. Nay, how glad it made me; I saw a face which I knew; a round, friendly face, that of my dearest friend in heaven; it was the Moon--the dear old Moon, the very same, precisely the same, as when she peeped at me between the willow trees on the marshes. I kissed my hand to her; she shone right down into my chamber, and promised me, that every night when she was out she would take a peep at me. And she has honestly kept her word--pity only that she can remain for so short a time! Every night she comes she tells me one thing or another which she has seen either that night or the night before. "Make a sketch ' said she, on her first visit, "of what I tell thee, and thus thou shalt make a really beautiful picture-book!" This I have clone; and in this way I might give a new Thousand and One Nights in pictures: but that would be too much; those which I have given have not been selected, but are just...
