ANDERSEN, HANS CHRISTIAN. 1805-1875.
Autograph Letter Signed ("Hans Christian Andersen") in English, 1 p, 8vo, Copenhagen, January 18, 1858, to Collins, being a letter of introduction, light creasing and toning, light staining near signature.
Introduces a young critic to an English comrade, and asks a favor: "I had wished to give in Danish 'The Frozen Deep' and you were kind enough to promise to forward it to me. I should like to bring it on the stage in Copenhagen, let me therefore, as I suppose it is now published, have it as soon as possible...." The Frozen Deep was a play written by Wilkie Collins and heavily revised by Charles Dickens that was given several amateur stagings in 1857 to great acclaim. It was not published, however, until 1866.
See illustration.
