Prince presents new evidence which casts an unexpected light on this writer of children's fairy tales. Using diaries and letters, she claims that he was a suppressed homosexual; that his highly publicised affairs with prominent women were used to build his public persona and to protect his private self. Prince also reveals that Andersen was possibly the illegitimate son of Crown Prince Christian Frederick, later King Christian VIII of Denmark.
