Who wrote the fairy tale "The Red Shoes" in 1845?

I am suddenly getting many questions about this author

soclady2, read some of his work and you'll understand why

Player Elf Counsel, Interesting, plus I’m going to look up some of your literary work; thank you!

soclady2, I have several E books with Amazon. Plus a few paperbacks. They are. mostly adventure thrillers and two historical fiction. If anyone does buy them I do hope they enjoy them.

Player Elf Counsel, what's your pen name?

he probably collected it from a folk source

Oh dear!
