Reviews
"It's a beautiful statue of Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875). It is located in Central Park, near east 74th Street. He is sitting and has a book on his lap. It's open to the story of The Ugly Duckling. It's made of bronze and was unveiled in 1956. On some Saturdays in summer, someone reads his stories to the children and adult children."
"Beautiful area by the boat house, where there is live storytelling every Saturday from 11-noon through August. Such a great vibe, food and beverage close by."
"Blink and you'll miss it. This is in honor of all the children who lost their parents during 9/11. Hans Christian Andersen has beautiful fairy tales. Here he's represented reading The Ugly Duckling."
"Brought a tear to my eye seeing that this is in honor of the children who lost a parent during 9/11. Beautiful statue."
"We always enjoy seeing the Hans Christian Anderson bronze statue at the Conservatory Water in Central Park. It was particularly nice seeing it this past week (first week of May) while the spring blooms were starting to appear in the Park. This provided a nice backdrop for taking pictures of the statue at this time of the year. The statue is bronze figure of an elderly H.C. Anderson, the Danish author noted for his children's stories and fairytales. Here you see an elderly Anderson, seated on a park bench with an open book. The page is filled with the story of the Ugly Duckling. On the ground is a small bronze of a duck looking up at Anderson. It is a neat sculpture in Central Park Note: Like the nearby Alice in Wonderland Statue, just a couple minutes walk from here, it is fine for children to touch, climb on and around the Hans Christian Anderson statue. There are always fewer visitors here than at the Alice in Wonderland statue so it is much easier to take unobstructed photos here."
