A very interesting fact for the weekend

in #fact6 years ago

Today I learned that Hans Christian Andersen (who wrote "The Little Mermaid") once hosted Charles Dickens (who wrote "Oliver Twist") and refused to leave for five weeks.

One day Dickens found Andersen lying on the lawn in the yard, sobbing, because of the unflattering reviews he received in the paper.

Ooo.. It is really sad to get unflattering response from people....especially when you have given it great effort .... Am glad Andersen never give up... Because the stone that the builders rejected is now among the chief cornerstone today... Thanks for sharing this great information with me... I appreciate...
