About the Hans Christian Andersen Storytelling Center
Since 1957, on Saturdays during the summer, New York City’s children have clustered around the Hans Christian Andersen statue near Conservatory Pond in Central Park to hear his and others’ fairytales, folk stories, and stories told by a dedicated group of professional storytellers.
The Hans Christian Andersen Storytelling Center is a New York not-for-profit corporation that administrates and sponsors these weekly storytelling sessions, as well as other storytelling outreach and school programs in New York City.
In 1998 the Storytelling Center was honored to receive the Hans Christian Andersen Prize from the Hans Christian Andersen Priskomite of Odense, Denmark – Andersen’s birthplace in 1804. In 1999 the Lord Mayor of Odense visited the Storytelling Center. The program celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2006.
