While in Odense in 2005, we payed tribute to the  greatest children (and not just that)  novelist Hans Christian Andersen visiting the museum dedicated to him and his works. Thousands of books of his novels translated in all the world languages, lots of his own drawings to embellish his novels, personal belongings and other memorabilia, all of those very interesting. It was nice also a visit to the souvenirs shop, lots of little things from his novels to hang on the Christmas tree!

The year 2005  was also the 200th anniversary of his birth and in Odense there were lots of exhibitions around town, every restaurant had at least one menu referring to him, all in the pure danish tradition.  We had a terrific buffet lunch at Den Grimme AEling (The Ugly Duck) near to the museum, so very good!

    I would love to see the Hans Christian Anderson museum! The ugly duckling was one for my favorite stories as a child, and also the Little tin Soldier.

    Thanks Gra!

    I’m glad you turned your “catchia” off! So much easier this way!
