PRESENTATION COPY OF THE GENESIS OF ANDERSEN'S FAIRY TALES. ANDERSEN, HANS CHRISTIAN. 1805-1875. Digte. Copenhagen: E.H. Robert 1830. 8vo (168 X 108 mm). Modern tree calf, black morocco lettering-pieces gilt, uncut; original wrappers bound in, marginal repairs to wrappers, some spotting. Provenance: Søren Hempel (presentation inscription from the author). PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED BY ANDERSEN on verso of front wrapper: 'Hr. Cancelliraad / Hempel / venskabeligt / Forfatteren' ['Mr. Cancelliraad [honorary title] Hempel amicably the author']. Søren Hempel printed one of two newspapers in Odense; the other was published by Christian Iversen, and the two publishers had a polemical relationship. Andersen became acquainted with Iversen in 1819, and in January 1824, Andersen wrote Iversen seeking help in publishing several of his poems: (in translation) 'I spoke of some small poems that I had written during the time I was in Copenhagen; I have now read them through during the holidays and extracted the best ones that I have read to... several men who can judge such things, and they have said that I dare to offer them to the public.' Iversen sends a warm reply, but responds that he has been out of the bookselling trade for more than 30 years, and would be unable to help Andersen secure a publisher. Though Iversen doubted Andersen could find a publisher, Andersen sent the poems to Iversen's competitor, Hempel in February of 1824. He perhaps wisely refrained from telling Hempel that Iversen had refused to print them. Unfortunately, Hempel too would refuse to publish the poems. H. C. Andersen Centret records the two letters Andersen sent to Hempel in February 1824 as well as this presentation copy. A SUPERB ASSOCIATION. FIRST EDITION OF THE AUTHOR'S FIRST PUBLISHED BOOK OF POEMS, INCLUDING THE FIRST PRINTING OF ANDERSEN'S FIRST TRUE FAIRY TALE, 'Dødningen' ['The Dead One'], which he later rewrote and published as 'Reisekammeraten' ['The Traveling Companion'] in his second pamphlet of fairy tales published in 1835 (see lots 4 - 8). Writing in his introduction to this early work, Andersen states his authorial intention: 'as a child it was my greatest joy to listen to fairy tales ... it is my intention, provided it meets with approval, to retell several, and some day publish a cycle of Danish folk tales.'
