Messrs. Hurd K Houghton publish as a
part of their Hans Anderson edition, new
volume containing the autobiography of the
distinguished Danish author. This Wonder
Story which he calls his life, prepared by
himself, will be regarded as one of the most
valuable in the edition. In his simple and
clear style he relates his birth, the incidents
of his childhood, his struggles in manhood,
and weaves in matters of historical interest
connected with his own experience that give
his book more Importance than mere per-
sonal relation. He brings his biography
down to 1867, when his native town, where
he was born the son of a poor shoemaker,
honored him with ceremonials and festivities
and the diploma of honorary citizenship.
