Carl Ewald ([ˈe̝ːˌvælˀ], 15 October 1856 – 23 February 1908) was a Danish novelist and satirist known for his fairy tales.[1]
Biography
Carl Ewald was born on 15 October 1856 in Bredelykke by Gram in the Duchy of Schleswig, then a part of Denmark.[2] He was named after his grandfather of the same name [da; sv] and he had twelve siblings. His father, H. F. Ewald [da; sv] was an author. He was educated at the University of Copenhagen, where his family had moved to after the Duchy of Schleswig fell to the German Confederation in 1864.[1] From 1880 to 1883 he was a school director in Copenhagen.[3] His first literary work was published in 1882. After spending a few years as a forester, he turned to literature in 1887, issuing school texts and translations.[1]
In 1893 he had a son, Jesper Ewald, with Betty Ponsaing. In 1894, due to an extramarital relationship he had with Agnes Henningsen, Ewald's second son Poul was born. The relationship ended in a divorce.[4]
Ewald died in Charlottenlund (near Copenhagen) on 23 February 1908.[5][2] He was buried in Gentofte.[2]
