‎The extremely rare first printing of the 1823-issues of this slightly obscure newspaper, which contains Hans Christian Andersen's third publication. This exceedingly rare piece of Anderseniana was published, when the master of the fairy tale genre was merely 17 years old, namely in February 1823. Hans Christian Andersen constitutes the greatest Danish author ever to have lived, arguably the greatest author of children's literature in the world, the founder of the fairy tale-genre and one of the most famous authors of all time. He almost singlehandedly put Denmark on the literary world map and gave to mankind a completely new way of writing and viewing the world. However, his road to fame was not straightforward and presumably, no one who made the acquaintance of the awkward and poor teenage Hans Christian Andersen would have predicted the role he came to play in the development of world literature. The present publication constitutes one of the two pieces of publication that are at the epicentre of the coming-to-be of the greatest poet and author to emerge from Danish soil. This little piece is a heartfelt, almost perfectly stylized poem that constitutes an obituary of Hans Christian Andersen's early benefactor, provost Gutfeld (1761-1823), who was responsible for Collin accepting to be Andersen's benefactor. It was due to Gutfeld and his belief in Andersen that he made it on into the world and was taken seriously enough – at the mere age of 17 – to later be allowed to follow his heart and his life dream – that of writing. ""As a poor child in the small but self-satisfied provincial centre of Odense, Andersen received throughout the first 14 years of his life impressions and experiences that were to be decisive for his literary production. In the autobiography of his youth, ""Levnedsbogen"" (not published till 1926), Andersen emphasised that the way of life in Odense had preserved popular old customs and superstitions unknown in Copenhagen and therefore available to him as a colourful stimulus to his imagination. However, even more decisive were the disturbing social experiences from the lowest ranks of society and his own urge to cast off the trammels of poverty, break with his social inheritance and realise his potential in the only outlet the times provided, the world of art, an urge that became ever more dominant throughout his childhood [...] A decisive factor that determined the direction of Hans Christian Andersen's life and his fantastic flight to Copenhagen in 1819, with the social and literary rise that followed, is the fact that, as the only town outside the capital, Odense had a theatre. [...] He left home as a 14-year-old 4 September 1819, a few months after his confirmation, to seek his fortune at the theatre in Copenhagen. [...] During Andersen's first years in Copenhagen (1819-22), he fought desperately to gain a foothold in the theatre as a ballet-dancer, actor or singer. Finally, when none of these attempts succeeded, he tried his hand as a playwright"" this was also in vain, but resulted in the director's deciding to send him to school so that something proper might be made of him, and this experience was thus as decisive for his later life and work as the Odense years."" (The Biography of the Hans Christian Andersen Centre). It was here, in Copenhagen, during the early theatre years, after he'd been cast aside as an actor, cast aside as a dancer, and cast aside as a singer that he wrote his play ""Alfsol"", which he handed in to the theatre in order to have it accepted for performance. But that too was cast aside, with the explanation that the author lacked all forms of education and had clearly never learned to write properly. Dean Gutfeld, however, had gotten to know Andersen and saw the potential in the young boy. Therefore, Gutfeld had spoken well of the uneducated boy and asked the theatre director Collin to look mercifully at it. ""[A] well liked speaker, Dean Gutfeld was alive then and was the one person that spoke most warmly and enthusiastically about my tragedy, which had now been completed. He sent it with a recommendation to the theatre direction and I was floating between hope and fear."" (own translation from Danish in Andersen: Mit Eget Eventyr. Uden Digtning, edt. Topsøe-Jensen, 1942, p. 46). Collin still refused the play, but it was this act of Gutfeld's that made Collin take an interest in Andersen and made him take him under his wings – if any, THE decisive moment in Andesen's life. Collin arranged that, at the expenses of the King, Andersen was sent to Slagelse Latinskole to get proper training and education. In the fall of 1822, Andersen left Copenhagen to go to Slagelse. From then on and throughout the rest of his life, Collin was his benefactor in all aspects of his life. Andersen came to consider him the closest to a father that he had, Collin's home became Andersen's home, and Collin's children his siblings and closest friends throughout his life. But Collin wanted Andersen to study and to learn properly before writing more poetry: ""Collin had mildly and friendly mentioned to me that he wished that during my school years I would not write too many verses"" that became a case of consciousness for me, an outright sin. That first year, I wrote merely one poem – for Gutfeld, who had died. I owed him a lot and I loved the man. The poem was published, without my name, in Slagelse Avis, and this is how Reverend Bastholm came to know me. I lent him my ""Alfsol"" [i.e. Andersen's first publication that was refused by Collin, but which he himself had procured money to publish a few months earlier], he wrote me a friendly letter, in which he encouraged me to study and thus more and more educate my poetic inclination."" (own translation from Danish, in: Andersen: Levnetsbog, edt. Hans Brix, 1926, p. 84). ""Hans Christian was virtually ordered to refrain from writing poetry or engaging in competitions at school until he was certain of his studies in language, grammar, and spelling."" (Jean Hersholt, Catalogue of the Collection of Hans Chritsian Andersen). Thus, only the circumstance of his love for Gutfeld and the gratitude he felt to him for having changed his life by making Collin take him under his wings, made Andersen commit the ""sin"" of writing poetry during school – and thus we have the exceedingly scarce third Andersen-publication, in ""Slagelse Ugeblad"", by the 17-year-old budding writer, who was so eager to write, but who otherwise had to suppress his poetic urges to please his benefactor. The publication is extremely rare and we have never seen a copy of it for sale before. Neither are we aware of any copy on private hands, and we have been able to locate only two other copies on OCLC: one in Odense and one in the Royal Library in Copenhagen. As Andersen-publications go, this is one of the two rarest and one might not come across another in one's life-time. BFN: 6. Not in Hersholt.‎

‎Rare first edition of this illustrated book that uses H. C. Andersen’s ""The Evil Prince"" as a model for an audacious plot that shows Hitler's megalomania and greed for power. Hans Christian Andersen’s 1840 tale, The Evil Prince, concerns a tyrant who, not satisfied with conquering neighboring countries, builds a spaceship and sets out to conquer God. In this version of the tale, published after the liberation of Denmark from Nazi occupation, Adolf Hitler assumes the title role and pursues the mad dream of world conquest, helped by Nazi storm-troopers and soldiers.‎

‎Kjöbenhavn, 1837-1847. Bound in one nice contemporary half calf binding with blindstamped and gilt ornamentation to spine. Gilding vague, also the gilt title. Minor bumping to corners. Internally a bit of scattered brownspotting, but overall unusually nice, clean, and fresh. A truly excellent copy. See collation below.‎

‎A magnificent set - unusually nice and clean and bound together in a contemporary binding, which is almost never the case - of the first edition of this exceedingly rare collection of Andersen's earliest fairy tales. This legendary fairy tale-collection that created the fairy tale-genre and brought Andersen international fame, consists in six parts that together make up two volumes. As with most of the other few existing copies, the present set is a mixture of issues (though here, merely two of the parts are in second issue). ""With the passing of each year, Andersen's genious brought forth new ""wonder stories"", and the fame he had so desperately craved and striven for became a reality. Little did he know in the spring of 1835, when he all but had to beg his publisher to accept these remarkable tales, that one day they would make him immortal. And little did the critics, nearly all of whom advised him to give up his ""experiment"" and devote himself to his other writings, ever dream that they would live to see him gain world acclaim for these tales. For almost a hundred years now, generation after generation has been brought up on Andersen's stories. Take the English-speaking world, for instance. Since the first appearance of Andersen's Fairy Tales in London and New York, in 1846, over seven hundred different editions, including dozens of varied translations, illustrated by more than a hundred different artists, have been published in the United States alone. Indeed, Andersen's stories will live on as classics - as much part of our civilization as the two primary educational factors, reading and writing."" (Jean Hersholt, p. 27). Due to the fact that the six little pamphlets together, printed in different years, all have their own title-pages, half-titles, contents, etc. and that there were then also printed all of this for each volume of three (times two) together, the book binders almost always removed several of these ""extra"" leaves, as they seemed superfluous. It was never the intention of the publisher that the single half-titles, title-pages or tables of contents be preserved. However, due to the many different laves that were deemed ""superfluous"" or not, all existing sets of these two little volumes have their individual mix-up of half-titles, titles, and tables of contents. Thus, no copies are known to exist with all leaves present. ""During Andersen's lifetime 162 of his Fairy Tales were published, but the scarcest and most difficult to obtain are these six little pamphlets. We do not know exactly how many, or how few, copies were printed, but we do know that no copy with all the title pages and tables of contents has ever been offered for sale by any dealer or at any auction. To my knowledge, only five or six complete copies of the first printings (1835-1842) still exist. Even the second printing of the six pamphlets in their entirety (1842-1847) is exceedingly scarce and difficult to obtain."" (Jean Hersholt).Here follows a collation including mention of issues and lacunae: Vol. I: VIII pp. (joint title-page (dated 1837) for the three parts, contents-leaf for all three parts, and preface (""Til de ældre Læsere""). The joint half-title merely stating ""Eventyr for Børn"" has not been bound in.First Part: 61 (including the title-page), (3) (blank verso of p. 61 and the contents-leaf for part one) pp. The half-title has not been bound in. Second issue, 1842.Second Part: 76 (including half-title and title-page), 2 (contents-leaf for part two) pp. + 1 f. (blank). Second issue, 1844.Third Part: 60 (including half-title and title-page) pp., 2 (contents-leaf for part two) pp. + 1 f. (blank). First issue, 1837.Vol. II: 3 ff. (joint title-page, dedication-leaf (for Mrs. Heiberg), contents-leaf for all three parts). First Part: 58 (including title-page), (2) (contents-leaf for part one) pp. The half-title has not been bound in. First issue, 1838.Second Part: 53 (including title-page), (3) (verso of p. 53 and contents-leaf for part two) pp. The half-title has not been bound in. First issue, 1839.Third Part: 49 (including title-page), (3) (verso of p. 49 and contents-leaf for part three) pp. The half-title has not been bound in. First issue, 1842..This is one of the most complete copies we have ever seen, as the only leaves not withbound are some of the half-titles. Usually a lot more leaves have been left out by the binders, and it's even rare to find copies that have all title-pages. The separate contents-leaves are very rarely found preserved in copies that have the joint contents-leaves, and the blank leaves are almost never withbound. BFN: 266" Hersholt: 23 PMM: 299. ‎
