The fairytale world of H.C.Andersen, Rådhuspladsen 57, DK-1550 Copenhagen

The man himself.

He lived with his family  in just one room where his dad had his shoemaker's bench.
They must have been down on theit heels!

And was a hull of a traveller.

It's funny being in a building kitted out inside to look like Copenhagen really does on the outside.

Here is H.C. in his study.

Here's the little match girl - a story that never fails to make me cry.

This is the Steadfast Tin Soldier, with interactive buttons to press.

A cheeky photo and more buttons though they're conspicuously lacking on the Emperor's new clothes :o). A funny story that still hits home today in a time when labels mean more than the clothes themselves to some people! 

And the Thumbelina stage set shows it must be lovely being little with dainty little feet
and tiny shoes... not kipper boxes like my dad used to call my shoes :o).
