In Andersen's fairy tales, as in real life, sadness and joy, tears and laughter are closely intertwined. Hans Christian Andersen was a very clever person and a talented storyteller, so he always believed that a fairy tale must necessarily reflect all the features of life. Andersen gave many useful tips to kids around the world. But he wrote not only for children, because every adult in the past was a small boy or girl. In fairy tales of the writer it is possible to meet set of wise thoughts. So, in The Snow Queen, he talks about loyalty and true friendship; "Snow White" talks about the importance of mutual assistance, "The New Dress of the King" - about the importance of truth, "Ognivo" - about ingenuity. Also the reader can learn about the brave and fearless mermaid who sacrificed his life for the sake of saving his beloved (The Little Mermaid) .I am delighted with Andersen's tales. I would like all adults and children on earth to read all the works of the great author, to feel the mood of the main characters, to understand the true meaning of Hans Christian Andersen's magical, slightly sad, but instructive tales.
