#584 Hans Christian Andersen

Fans of biographical criticism have a ___ source in the works of Hans Christian Andersen. Like Lewis Carroll (and, to a lesser extent, Kenneth Grahame), Andersen was near-pathologically uncomfortable in the ___ of adults. Of course, all three had to work and interact with adults, but all three really ___ well to children and their simpler worlds. Andersen, for a time, ran a puppet theater and was incredibly ___ with children, and, of course, he wrote an impressive ___ of fairy tales which have been produced in thousands of editions since the 19th century.
