The sentence is TRUE.

Explanation:

Hans Christian Andersen was a Danish writer. His best known work are fairy tales, such as The Little Mermaid (1837), The Emperor's New Clothes (1837), The Ugly Duckling (1843), The Goblin and the Woman (1867), and so on. He wrote 215 fairy tales, most of them are translated in several languages and some of them were made movies or plays.

The majority of his fairy tales were fruit of his own imagination and that gave him a reputation of a creative and original writer, even while still alive, but his main goal of life was to become a novelist and he was not so fond of his tales, so he also wrote novels, poems, dramas, papers, letters, autobiographies and other kind of writings, that are almost unknown around the world. These works also manifest his realistic style and humor, that are not popular as his tales are.
