ABOUT
The Author,
Marianne Andersen
​
'My passion for fairy tales was instigated from the cradle. I come from two rich cultures that deeply appreciate fairy tales, legends, oral traditions, and literature - France and the Kingdom of Denmark, where sagas and fairy tales are recounted and read to children from the moment they are born. At the age of 8 I knew I wanted to become an author. My English teachers and librarians fostered my love of English literature during my school years, and it felt natural that I should study English Literature in England.
I thank my lucky stars that I have listened to my instincts and followed my passion for writing fairy tales, because fairy tales make people happy. Discover and rediscover the joy of reading fairy tales with me.'
