It is the policy of NCTE in all publications, including the Literacy & NCTE blog, to provide a forum for the open discussion of ideas concerning the content and the teaching of English and the language arts. How do you use the work of Hans Christian Andersen?Ĭurious about the NCTE and Library of Congress connection? Through a grant announced by NCTE Executive Director Emily Kirkpatrick, NCTE is engaged in ongoing work with the Library of Congress, and “will connect the ELA community with the Library of Congress to expand the use of primary sources in teaching.” Stay tuned for more throughout the year! The Author’s Award has been given since 1956 and the Illustrator’s Award since 1966.
The Hans Christian Andersen Awards recognize lifelong achievement and are presented to an author and an illustrator whose complete works have made an important, lasting contribution to children’s literature.
The Hans Christian Andersen Award is the highest international recognition given to an author and an illustrator of children’s books, awarded every other year by the International Board on Books for Young People. Hans Christian Andersen lives on through the award in his name. Students could also be encouraged to explain which version they prefer and why. Since so many of Hans Christian Andersen’s stories have been adapted and abridged into animated movies, invite students to compare the film version and the original story, looking at the similarities and differences between the two versions of the tale. The Library of Congress has a number of Hans Christian Andersen’s manuscripts that can be viewed and also downloaded. There are also numerous links to the primary sources themselves.

Andersen also wrote novels, poems, plays, travel descriptions, and he created travel illustrations, drawings, and artistic paper cuts (using a surprisingly large pair of scissors!) Expressions such as “an ugly duckling” and “the emperor’s new clothes” are based on Andersen’s tales of the same names. Hans Christian Andersen is known for his stories like The Little Mermaid, Thumbelina, and The Princess and the Pea. Hans Christian Andersen is often referred to as the “father of modern fantasy.” Centuries after his birth, Andersen’s tales are still enjoyed by both young and old alike. On this day in 1835, the first installment of Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales was published by C.
