Answer: Hans Christian Andersen

Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snowman" tells the story of a snowman who longs to be with a stove, despite warnings from his only friend, a dog, that it will melt him.

The snowman is usually built with three big balls of snow, making the head, torso and lower body, though in some countries, such as Japan, only two balls are used.
