I’m doing an online Future Learn course on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales. Last night I was reading one called The Travelling Companion which we are comparing to an original folk tale, so that’s what I was thinking about as I fell asleep. My mum read Hans Christian Andersen’s stories to me as a child and I loved them, although I found some of them rather sad. It’s interesting to delve into their origins and to analyse possible meanings. I am seeing them in a different light.
