H.C. Andersen centret

Julius Moldenhawer, West Hartford, Friend of Hans Christian Anderson, to Please Children. Will be conducted with Story-Teller. Mrs. D.M. Hastings of Library Will Help Present Favorite Story, 'The Tinderbox'. The Hartford Daily Times, February 11, 1928. - Anderson's Satire: Mr. Moldenhawer's Son, a prominent minister in Albany, is also interested in Anderson, and has done a fine bit of translation in this field. The satire in Anderson's work played Dr. Moldenhawer a low trick on one occasion when he was asked to address the Daughters of the American Revolution, a society ... that is founded on pride of ancestry. The story was called 'The Happy Family', and had a double edged satire in it.
