Title variations and Danish equivalents may be found in the cross reference. Andersen’s tale “Danish Popular Legends” was first published in The Riverside Magazine for Young People, Vol. IV, pp. 470-474, New York, October 1870. It has never been published in Denmark. The hypertext is based on an etext found in the Andersen Homepage of the Danish National Literary Archive. It may be somewhat surprising to learn that a number of Andersen’s tales were published in America even before being published in Andersen’s native Denmark. According to Jean Hersholt’s introduction to The Andersen-Scudder Letters, University of California Press, 1949, ten tales were published by Horace Elisha Scudder, Andersen’s American editor, publisher and translator, in the above mentioned Magazine, in the years 1868-1870. After the Magazine closed down, Scudder published four other tales, in the years 1871-1873, in Scribner’s Monthly, an illustrated magazine for the people: “Lucky Peer” (in four installments), “The Great Sea-Serpent”, “The Gardener and the Manor”, and “The Flea and the Professor”. The hypertext of these four tales is based on the images found in the Making of America collection of Cornell University Library. 127 more tales are given in a hypertext rendition of Mrs. Paull’s nineteenth century translation, now in the public domain. Four more tales, contributed by Mike W. Perry and marked by a (*), are digitized from Fairy Tales and Other Stories by Hans Christian Andersen, revised and partly re-translated by W.A. and J. K. Craigie, Oxford Univ. Press, London, 1914. Mike also contributed the three tales marked by (**), from Wonder Stories Told for Children, Houghton Mifflin, Boston, 1900. The remaining 29 tales are given in title only, using Jean Hersholt’s translation, published in three volumes in 1942-49 by The Heritage Press, and now collectors’ items. The 30 most popular tales are marked by a . 30 more tales, which Elias Bredsdorff, in his book Hans Christian Andersen: The Story of His Life and Work: 1805-75, published in 1975 by Phaidon Press and republished in 1994 by Noonday Press, considers most characteristic and representative, are marked by a . All these tales, and the 99 marked by a , may be found in the book The Complete Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales, edited by Lily Owens, published in 1981 by Avenel Books and republished in 1993 by Grammercy Books.

See also the chapter “Hans Christian Andersen and his Illustrators”, in Fairy Tales From Hans Christian Andersen—A Classic Illustrated Edition, Russel Ash and Bernard Higton (eds.), Chronicle Books, 1992. The background of these pages is reproduced from a paper cutting made by Andersen himself. Elias Bredsdorff explains: “The items on the pierrot’s tray... represent some of the stages in Andersen’s life: his birthplace in Odense, the old grammar school in Slagelse, the windmill man (a fairy-tale motif), Saint Canute’s Church in Odense, and the ugly duckling transformed into a swan.” Johan de Mylius, in his book H. C. Andersen Paper Cuts, Aschehoug Dansk Forlag, 2000, elaborates: “...a frog-like gnome, dancer, or circus performer, his mouth open in a shriek. And like mythological Atlas, he carries above him visible reality, the urban world and a segment of the world of poetry and nature. This could be the hidden and infernal side of the artist, who—brought to his knees by normalcy—presents on a tray the side of realty that we know and wish and acknowledge. How long can he hold it? When will it tip over?” See also the book The Amazing Paper Cuttings of Hans Christian Andersen by Beth Wagner Brust, Ticknor & Fields, 1994 (paperback reprint edition, 2003). In 2 March 2005, the same paper cutting appeared on a Danish stamp issued for Andersen’s Bicentennial, to represent Hans Christian Andersen the artist.
