Today, Hans Christian Andersen is Denmark’s most famous writer and one of the most celebrated fairy tale authors in the world. Throughout the years as he wrote, experimenting with novels, plays, and short stories, Andersen’s success truly started to take off when he began writing in earnest collections of fairy tales that combined poetic language and touched on folklore and fantastic elements. While failing to find success as an actor (partially due to his awkward mannerisms and appearance), Andersen’s skill as a writer started to get used. However, fueled by an active imagination and aspirations of social elevation, Andersen left his home at the age of 14 to travel to Copenhagen in the hopes of finding success as a performer on stage. ![]() Born in Odense, Denmark on April 2, 1805, Hans Christian Andersen was born into a poor working-class family, with a washerwoman as his mother. ![]() ![]() ![]() She needs the Hex Boys to pull this off, and, chances are, teaming up with these guys will get her killed anyway. ![]() A&E Kirk, Bestselling Author of The Divinicus Nex Chronicles I want.

Perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare and Jennifer L. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The third and biggest, known as "the great dying," at the end of the Permian period about 250 million years ago, seems to have been caused by global warming and changing ocean chemistry, and as Kolbert writes, "came perilously close to emptying the earth out altogether." The fifth and most famous, which ended the Cretaceous period some 65 million years ago and doomed the dinosaurs as well as perhaps three-quarters of all living species, was brought on by an asteroid slamming into the Yucatan Peninsula. ![]() The first mass extinction, at the end of the Ordovician period (roughly 450 million years ago), is believed to have been caused by glaciation. Kolbert, a longtime staff writer at The New Yorker, structures the book in two parts, first tracing how scientists beginning in the 18th and 19th centuries came to understand (and fiercely debate) the revolutionary idea of mass extinction events in Earth's deep past, then guiding us through today's efforts to understand the current one. There appears to have been only five such big ones since life on this planet began, and what scientists believe is happening right now would be the sixth. Extraordinary because, as it turns out, a sudden mass die-off on a planet-wide scale - one in which a very large percentage, even the vast majority, of living species are wiped out in a geological instant - is an exceedingly rare thing. ![]() ![]() The Inheritance cycle has been very important to the bottom line at Random House Children’s Books. ![]() Nancy Hinkel, v-p and publishing director at Knopf Books for Young Readers, says, “You think about having a great day, but selling 550,000 copies was a big surprise and we were so excited when we saw the number.” Inheritance is evidently expected to sell well, as the house has ordered a 2.5 million copy first printing.

Hiaasen sent the book to his editor at Random House as a heads-up, to check the book out. At the same time, author Carl Hiaasen’s stepson had bought a copy of the self-published book in Montana when they were on vacation and loved it.
