Rare collection of tales exceptionally inscribed twice by Hans Christian Andersen to his friend the celebrated dancer and choreographer Auguste Bournonville called here Balletdigter poet of ballet in homage to his talent. The inscriptions appear on the half-title page of each part: Vennen Balletdigteren A. Bournonville fra hans Beundrer H.C. Andersen To the friend the poet of ballet A. Bournonville from his admirer H.C. Andersen and Balletdigteren min geniale trofaste Ven Hr. Balletmester Bournonville Hjerteligst H.C. Andersen To the poet of ballet my brilliant and faithful friend the ballet-master Mr. Bournonville / Sincerely H.C. Andersen. The dancer and ballet director of the Royal Danish Theatre remained one of Andersens greatest role-models: Andersen who had aspired to be a dancer in his youth but like many of his fairy-tale protagonists was born in the wrong body relinquishing that career path the now-famous storyteller made use of his writing talents for the stage and collaborated on several occasions with Bournonville. The dancer met the author during Andersens difficult beginnings at the Royal Danish Theatre. After his arrival alone in Copenhagen in 1819 Andersen aspired to build a career on stage which he considered a realm of magic and ecstasy and fought desperately to make his place as a ballet dancer actor or singer. He entered in 1821 as a pupil in the ballet class of Carl Dahlén who had temporarily replaced Antoine Bournonville Augustes father at the head of the theatre. Andersen made a few unremarkable appearances and endured the criticism of his teachers who mocked his gangly figure and awkward posture. The future author of the deeply autobiographical Ugly Duckling abandoned dancing but continued to observe the brilliant career of the young Auguste Bournonville his exact contemporary born the same day as well as the famous dance school he was then founding in Copenhagen. Twenty years later the renowned storyteller had replaced the failed dancer: Andersen returned to the Royal Theatre where the greatest artists of Denmarks golden age gathered and collaborated closely with Bournonville both in the conception of works and in their staging just as he was also a repeated inspiration for the ballet-masters choreographic work with his own fairy-tales and theatrical projects Digterens & balletmesterens p. 15. His storytelling talents translated wonderfully into his opera libretti and theatre texts. Alongside Bournonville who signed the staging and choreography of the dances of elves Andersen had his first stage success with his fairy-comedy entitled Lykkens Blomst The Flower of Happiness and then with a lyrical and dramatic tale Liden Kirsten Little Christine also choreographed by his friend. The two men worked on several stage productions maintained for decades a rich correspondence and exchanged poems expressing their mutual admiration. It was even in August Bournonvilles home years later that Andersen met and fell in love with the Swedish opera singer Jenny Lind the famed Nightingale of the North who rejected him and left the writer in deep distress. In the present collection which contains 17 tales Andersen notably reconnects with his youthf C. A. Reitzels Forlag hardcover
