Rotation 6:
Hans Christian Andersen is the greatest human that ever lived on planet Earth. Instead of all the other writers that only wrote to adults he first able raised the level of literature a lot higher than it was at the time. He also focused on children and wanted them to start reading literature. Andersen spent most of his life on travelling and writing, he wrote about most of his travels as travelogues. He incorporated children to the world of literature by writing books for children so they could read for themselves and didn't need their parents to read it for them. The fairy tales he wrote was stories from his own life about events that happened. He was obtained in two orders, one by the king of Prussia and one by the king of Bavaria. He also became an honorary citizen of is hometown Odense.
