She is the first recipient of the 500,000 kroner (£59,000) award, which was
|
|
handed out on Tuesday at a ceremony in Odense, Andersen's hometown.
|
|
|
|
The prize is given to a person who can be compared with Andersen, the
|
|
[**Danish**][3] writer who was born in 1805 and wrote some 160 fairy tales and
|
|
poems before his death in 1875.
|
|
|
|
Rowling said the author of such classics as "The Little Mermaid" and the "The
|
|
Ugly Duckling" had "created indestructible, eternal characters."
|
|
|
|
Rowling's seven books about the boy wizard have sold more than 400 million
|
|
copies worldwide and have been translated into many languages.
|
|
|
|
Earlier this month she was named the most influential woman in Britain by the
|
|
National Magazine Company.
