(1949) Book (translator): Translated over 160 of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales into English. These were published in six volumes as "The Complete Andersen". NOTE: Hersholt was knighted by King Christian X of Denmark in 1948, partly due to this endeavor. Hersholt's grave in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA, is marked with a statue of Klods Hans, a Hans Christian Anderson character who left Denmark to find his way in the the world--much as Hersholt himself did.
