In life, sometimes it happens that the materials for creation are not enough to achieve a perfect result. The pencil wasn't enough for me... I only have one foot... any child given to me will find me defective... I wonder if they will love me or throw me in the trash... but I must accept my differences with courage... I have no other choice. I will be present!

“It is said that Hans Christian Andersen is the creator whose books have the most illustrations, and this is directly related to the strong imagery of the author, his ability to shape characters that are lively and immediate, which engage the reader's imagination to such an extent that they feel as if they are watching the story unfold before their eyes. From this perspective, Andersen's fairy tales are suitable for theatrical adaptation, as the dramatic situations present in the text as narrated speech can be represented scenically and help young spectators adopt values and positive behavior patterns.” Maria Dimaki-Zora (from the epilogue of the edition)
