When Hans Met Charles featuring Sean Szeps
Manage episode 349225652 series 2527701
It could’ve been the start of a strong friendship between two of history’s most brilliant authors. It wasn’t.
When Hans Christian Andersen invited himself to stay at Charles Dickens’ house, Dickens was too polite to say no, and besides, maybe it’d be pleasant having him around the house for a few weeks. It wasn’t. Andersen wore out his welcome the same day he arrived, made everyone he encountered uncomfortable, extended his stay, ruined a marriage, and destroyed his relationship with Dickens. He was more of a pest than a guest.
