Hans Christian Andersen (often referred to in Scandinavia as H.C. Andersen) was a Danish author and poet.

Svarskrivelse til Odense Kommunalbestyrelse paa Indbydelsen til at komme til Odense den 6/12 for at modtage Diplomet som Æresbor" (1867) A few folk tales feature a boy discovering a pea or a bean assumed to be of great value. After the boy enters a castle and is given a bed of straw for the night he tosses and turns in his sleep, attempting to guard his treasure. Some observers are persuaded that the boy is restless because he is unaccustomed to sleeping on straw and is therefore of aristocratic blood. [1] In the more popular versions of the tale, only one pea is used. However, Charles Boner added in two more peas in his translation of the story upon which Andersen based his tale. Other differences amongst versions can be seen in various numbers of mattresses as well as feather beds. [ citation needed] Versions of the story differ based on whether or not the character of the helper is included. The helper, in some cases, tells the princess to pretend she slept badly. In other versions, the helper does not appear at all and the princess decides to lie all on her own. [13] References [ edit ] Ahasverus (1847), C.A.
