Born in Denmark in 1805, he wrote plays, novels and fairy tales until his death in 1875. One of the great masters of fairy tales is Hans Christian Andersen. This resulted in traditional fairy tales teaching children the value of leading virtuous lives, while demonstrating the consequences of choosing sin and evil. This truth, based on God, didn’t change just because it was inconvenient or disagreeable to current value systems. Until the Disney Studio abandoned the concepts of ultimate good and evil, fairy tales were always based on the concept of a universal truth. In these stories, we meet kind and brave people, as well as evil beings such as witches and heartless individuals.
