More About: Hans Christian Andersen Statue
Central Park Pictures
By Heather Cross, About.com Guide
Just west of the Conservatory Water where kids often race miniature sailboats, the statue of Hans Christian Andersen awaits exploration. The memorial was built primarily with funds raised by Danish and American schoolchildren in memory of the author of such famous tales as "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "The Ugly Duckling." On Saturdays at 11 a.m. from May through September, children (and parents) gather to hear free storytelling based on his fairy tales near his statue.
