Tag: Hans Christian Andersen

This one was really not for me. Maybe reading children stories as an adult isn’t the best thing to do for some people.

I personally found this story to be very boring and uninteresting. I really had hard time reading it because I just couldn’t get into the story.

The story is pretty quick read, but that’s the only good thing about this story for me personally.

The writing style in this one was very generic which every fairytale has.

I Give This Book 1 / 5

This story is pretty decent coming from Hans Christian Andersen. This one wasn’t the best nor the worst. 

The writing style here was pretty good. Which reminded me why I like Hans Christian Andersen’s stories so much. He has a pretty unique written style is can both speak to an child and to an adult.

All of the characters here was pretty flat, but it is acceptable because it is a short story which means we don’t have a lot of time to get to know the characters in it

I personally think that this story would do better when it was read as a child rather than an adult. But I found Hans Christian Andersen’s retellings of children stories to be very unique, interesting and fun.

On the day that the emperor’s horse received his golden horseshoes as a reward for his heroic deeds, the beetle who shared his stable was very jealous. The smith refused to make shoes for his little feet and the beetle’s anger went up a notch. So, furious, he left the stable and set off to discover the world alone.

I gotta be honest here and say that after reading all of the stories written by Hans Christian Andersen, this one wasn’t the best.

This story doesn’t have any moral, reading it as an adult isn’t as fun as it would be for a child.

All of the characters here was pretty flat, but it is acceptable because it is a short story which means we don’t have a lot of time to get to know the characters in it

The writing style here was okay. But I can’t say a lot about it because it is a short story so of course we don’t get a lot here.

There was once a merchant who was so rich that he could have paved the whole street with gold, and would even then have had enough for a small alley. But he did not do so; he knew the value of money better than to use it in this way. So clever was he, that every shilling he put out brought him a crown; and so he continued till he died.
