Favorite thing: I learnt the most beautiful story about the amazing paper cuts H.C. Andersen was making one freezing winter night in Northern Norway, smoking Danish apple falvoured tabacco and eating biscuits dipped in hot chocolate.
I didn't mean to see his grave, but one summer sunny day I happened to walk past the cemetery and decided to walk in. I was surprised by the quiet, leafy friendliness of the alleys.

Favorite thing: Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) is high on the list of Danish "All-Stars" - that is to say, he's one of those Danes who are known and loved around the world. Novelist, poet, and short-story writer, Andersen is best known for his collections of children's tales that are really too good and too deep for children. He lived in and around Copenhagen for most of his adult life, and he is much-remembered here. This statue of Andersen is located in the children's play area of Kongens Have, a park just off Gothersgade in center Copenhagen.
One of these days I'm going to read a biography of this fascinating and peculiar writer.

Favorite thing: One is kind of obligated to view all the statuary in Copenhagen! And though it may seem cliche, most of it is very impressive work! This, of course, is the Hans Christian Anderson statue in the main square!

Fondest memory: Note how shiny his knees are - polished for a good luck!
