Eva Roos

I was born and I currently live in a small Eastern-Europe country - Estonia.
A big part of me is Estonia's magical nature that still keeps old fairy tales alive and people that are stubborn, innovative, and creative - all thanks to rather difficult history.
I grew up with a lot of books. Some of them were rare and expensive, so my parents prohibited me to touch them (also, just in case, to even look at them for very long), making sure I was curious and completely hooked on books from a very early age.

I have always been somewhat fascinated by beliefs, mythology, magic, and superstitions, so I chose to learn sc

Hans Christian Andersen

Hans Christian Andersen (often referred to in Scandinavia as H.C. Andersen) was a Danish author and poet. Although a prolific writer of plays, travelogues, novels, and poems, Andersen is best remembered for his fairy tales. Andersen's popularity is not limited to children; his stories — called eventyr, or "fairy-tales" — express themes that transcend age and nationality.

Andersen's fairy tales, which have been translated into more than 125 languages, have become culturally embedded in the West's collective consciousness, readily accessible to children, but presenting lessons of virtue and resilience in the face of adversity for mature readers as well. Some of his most famous fairy tales include "The Little Mermaid", "The Ugly Duckling", "The
