Paul Leyssac will read two stories by Hans Andersen.

Paul Leyssac is a well-known author, lecturer, actor, and broadcaster. As a boy he was fascinated by Hans Andersen's fairy tales. His Danish mother used to read them to him as no one else could, for she had heard them told by Hans Andersen himself. When he grew older, Leyssac translated many of these stories into French, and recited them at concerts. They attracted a great deal of attention, and in 1928 his versions were published.
