Sir Roger Moore reads "The Princesse and the Pea", where a prince wants to find a real princess to marry. He has travelled the world, which is full of princesses, yet he could not find a real one. So, he returns home empty-handed and sad. But one stormy night, a soaking wet princess knocks on his door and asks for shelter for the night. The prince’s mother is not convinced that she is a real princess and decided to put her to the test.

Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for his children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Little Mermaid", "The Nightingale", "The Steadfast Tin Soldier", "The Snow Queen", "The Ugly Duckling" and "The Little Match Girl". His books have been translated into over 160 languages, and today there is no child or adult that isn't familiar with Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to the stage and to the screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" from 1989 and the 2013 "Frozen" franchise, which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen".

Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2nd, is celebrated as the International Children's Book Day.
