One characteristic of Anderson's writings is his attention to popular literature, verbal and speech language. He most of all affects folk tales. To write these myths, he is inspired more by the legends of the Thousand Words and the legends of other nations of the world. In this article, only four of Iran's sources of Andersen stories are mentioned and their adaptation to Iranian stories. These four stories are: Mandel's fantasy and Emperor's new clothes, Gibreel Jolla and the flying box, Big Claus and Little Claus, Judge and Jail, Tomblinia and Aunt Souske.
