      I'm Hans Christian Andersen (book)

      I'm Hans Christian Andersen (book)

      £9.99
      'On the radio they said that Hans Christian Andersen wrote the Little Mermaid whilst he was avoiding the wedding of the person he loved. I thought 'that doesn't sound like a story that involves singing lobsters'. So I picked a book from my shelf, I sat down at the table, and I began to read. And as I read the stories, I remembered where I first heard them. You know how that is? You open one memory and a thousand more pour out.'

      Written and illustrated by Rachel Rose Reid, and published by Burning Eye, 'I'm Hans Christian Andersen' strips the sugarcoat from the famous teller of fairytales, whilst grappling with our own love affairs with happily ever after.

      • about you (and me)

        You dream of village-mindedness. You know that a group of people coming together can create something greater than the sum of its parts.

        That's something we have in common.

        You might not want a communal sock drawer with 60 people, but you know that when done right, story, ceremony, and song give us a glimpse of the magic humans can create when we gather with the desire to connect.

        These are the moments I create.

         

        My ancestors were refugees who left their communities behind and carried their folk traditions and rituals to London, England.

        I reinvent the gifts I was given to bring joy and meaning to modern life.

         

        I tell spellbinding stories and lead song at festivals and firesides around the world.

         

        I design and conduct life-cycle and communal rituals, that are innovative and authentic. Through my unique method of ritual design, we will bring your people together, no matter how complex their differences.

         

        I lead experiential retreats and online learning based on my culture in order to rebuild knowledge of marginalised folk customs and forgotten ancestors. You are welcome to join me whether you are from the same culture, or are seeking confidence to engage with and renew your connection with your own.
