H.C. Andersen centret

By Hans Christian Andersen (translated for the Journal). "Versailles in early June is one of the most delightful places ... arrived on 2d of June last ... visit at Edouard Laboylaye ... " (It is also mentioned that Andersen is old (too feeble for much serious work), and that he had met Jean Lemoine, Alphonse Karr, Georg Sand ) "I had spent one of the most delightful days of my whole journey. "
From: Scandinavian Review. Appleton's Journal, a magazine of general literature, vol 11, issue 253, Jan 31, 1874, pp. 150-51.
Falsum? HCA har ikke været i Versailles som ældre, kun den 24.5.1833, og han har ikke mødt Laboulaye, Lemoine eller Karr. HCA nævner i dagbogen 12.-13. maj 1871 at han er meget optaget af Laboulayes "Abdalla".
