PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED BY ANDERSEN TO SOPHIE MELCHIOR: "Frøken Sophie Melchior / en hjertelig Hilsen i foraaret 1872 / fra H. C. Andersen." Hans Christian Andersen's friendship with the Melchior family developed later in life, and his correspondence with various members of the family are among his weightiest in the last decade or so of his life. According to Niels Oxenvad, who wrote the introduction for H.C. Andersens brevveksling med familien Melchior, the period between 1860 and 1875, only his letters to and from the Collin family reach a greater number than those sent to the Melchior family. His most frequent correspondent among the family was Dorothea Melchior, wife of Moritz Melchior. Andersen became one of the family's foremost friends, and he dined at their home on Thursdays. In the summers, Andersen would stay at the Melchiors' home Rolinghed, where two rooms on the first floor were always at his disposal. Sophie Melchior was Moritz G. Melchior's niece, and she also stayed at Rolighed in Osterbro every summer, typically while Andersen was also a guest there. Oxenvad describes Sophie as a member of the Melchior team who Andersen liked very much. A SUPERB ASSOCIATION COPY.
FIRST EDITION of one of Andersen's later collections of Fairy Tales. Nielsen 1017.
