The theme of this graduation paper is the moral dimension of Andersen's stories. In this paper I will write about Andersen's life, his works, and something about his style. In addition, I will emphasise the importance of moral lessons in the stories and their impact on children. The aim of this paper is to present Andersen's work, that is, to show the moral dimension of his stories or lessons. Given that the Andersen's work is a very broad term, in this paper I have chosen only few stories to analyse as examples. In order to elaborate clearly upon the theme of this paper, I briefly summarised those stories and then analysed their moral lessons. Andersen's stories have always been close to the children and adults. His stories, both the ones with a happy ending, and the ones that end really sadly, have a lesson incorporated. It is necessary to recognise the lesson and apply it to oneself. Andersen's works are a simple way to learn something through an interesting story and it is for this reason his stories have been read for centuries. Keywords: Hans Christian Andersen
