The Well Told Tale

• The Ugly Duckling

  This week we have an original fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen: The Ugly Duckling. Was it inspired by the bullying Hans Christian Andersen faced as a child, or by his discovery that he was the illegitimate son of Prince Christian Frederick? Whatever the inspiration, it's a tale that still resonates today. You can support the channel via our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewelltoldtale Books - (buying books from our Bookshop.org shop helps support this channel while also supporting local bookshops, at no cost to you): Books by our favourite authors - https://uk.bookshop.org/lists/the-well-told-tale Fairy Tales by Hans Andersen - https://uk.bookshop.org/a/9522/9781909115200 An Illustrated Treasury of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales: - https://uk.bookshop.org/a/9522/9781782501183 The Ugly Duckling - Read it yourself with Ladybird - https://uk.bookshop.org/a/9522/9780723272632 I would like to thank my patrons: Maura Lee, Jane, John Bowles, Cade Norman, Matt Woodward, Cho Jinn and Douglas HarleySupport the show
