Beloved Danish author (1805–1875) best known for such classic fairy tales as The Ugly Duckling, The Red Shoes, and The Emperor’s New Clothes. AQS in Danish, signed "H. C. Andersen," one page, 12 x 9, Rome, April 28, 1846. The legendary fairy tale author pens a beautiful quatrain (translated): "A violet dreamt in the night that it stood at the gates of Eden, lifted up to the beloved's beast, the dream became reality." A German translation is neatly penned below in another hand. In fine condition. This verse was first published as 'A Bouquet of Violets' in Andersen's Fifty Short Poems, although our first line differs from the original.
