HANS BUDDHIST ANDERSEN

Hans Buddhist Andersen—
Reading his fairy tales will make you ‘karma’.
The brothers Grimm doubled up to ensure the volume of their work wasn’t slim.
Lewis Christmas Carroll’s yuletide yarns held limited appeal—for him.
Still, once a year his seasonal stories would appear,
Intended to inspire festive cheer.
The response from the reading public was clear,
‘We can’t stand your nonsense,’ they cried.
‘For that, there’s Edward Lear!’
Through the looking glass, Carroll reflected on being rejected.
‘Well fancy that!’ he said aloud,
Self-absorbed, feeling proud.
Then, he fancied other things of which he wrote to please the crowd.
