The Beauty of Fairy Tales

AWA is celebrating the lives of two great authors of Fairytales who are believed to have Aspie traits: Hans Christian Anderson and Lewis Carol (next issue).
Fairytales offer children choices of good and bad situations in life, by dreams, solutions, and alternatives.

"If you see the Wonder of the Fairytale, you can take the Future, even if you fail.."
-Abba

Fairy tales teach children morality and positive resolution in life's lessons.

Hans Christian Anderson

Hans Christian Andersen was born 203 yrs ago in Denmark to a very poor Cobbler (shoemaker) and his wife who was a washer woman. Hans' father made a toy stage with cut out actors for his play. From a beginning in life of poverty and social isolation, Hans eventually died very wealthy, internationally famous, and popular for his writings, especially, his fairytales.

We hope parents will enjoy reading these fairy tales to their children and share the world of a poor lonely Aspie boy named Hans whose dream of being loved by everyone and successful came true!

The Ugly Duckling

It was lovely summer weather in the country, and the golden corn, the green oats, and the haystacks piled up in the meadows looked beautiful.
The stork walking about on his long red legs chattered in the Egyptian language, which he had learnt from his mother. The corn-fields and meadows were surrounded by large forests, in the midst of which were deep pools.
It was, indeed, delightful to walk about in the country.

Thumbelina
There was once a woman who wished very much to have a little child, but she could not obtain her wish.
At last she went to a fairy, and said, "I should so very much like to have a little child; can you tell me where I can find one?" "Oh, that can be easily managed," said the fairy. "Here is a barleycorn of a different kind to those which grow in the farmer's fields, and which the chickens eat; put it into a flower-pot, and see what will happen."
