This dissertation analyses children’s characters in Hans Christian Andersen tales. The goal of this analysis is to seek answering the question of whether the children’s characters from Andersen’s tales make those children’s stories appropriate for children themselves. The stories are categorized into three groups: those being stories with children’s characters, stories with children’s characters with the presence of mythological beings and stories with fairy tale (non-existent) children’s characters. The first category consists of stories: "The Emperor’s New Clothes", "The Little Match Girl", "The Brave Tin Soldiers", "Little Ida’s Flowers", "The Wild Swans" and "Five Peas from a Pod". In the group of tales with real children’s characters with the presence of mythological beings are "Snow Queen" and "Ole Lukoje". The third and final group consists of tales with fairy tale children as characters. It consists of "Thumbelina" and "Little Mermaid". Additionally, this work will look into what life values can a child gain and learn from Andersen’s stories, what are the benefits of regular and consistent reading and carrying out the project of "Good day, Mister Andersen". The results of this analysis present that Andersen’s work in which the main characters are children are appropriate for children and each of Andersen’s tales consists extraordinary and essential life lessons.
