When you enter his house, you are transported back to the life of the author – from his youth as a poor shoemaker’s son, through to his struggles en route to fulfilling his dream of becoming a writer, his school years, major debut, writing career, old age and finally, his death. The many exciting exhibits allow you to follow the life of this fairy tale writer, his friendships and love life, and his artistic career.
