Hans Christian Andersen ( ), Danish author and poet, wrote many poems, plays, stories and travel essays, but is best known for his fairy tales of which there are over one hundred and fifty, published in numerous collections during his life and many still in print today. Andersen’s fairy tales of fantasy with moral lessons are popular with children and adults all over the world, and they also contain autobiographical details of the man himself. Born on 2 April, 1805 in Odense, on the Danish island of Funen, Denmark, he was the only son of washerwoman Anna Maria Andersdatter (d.1833) and shoemaker Hans Andersen (d.1816). They were very poor, but Hans took his son to the local playhouse and nurtured his creative side by making him his own toys. Young Hans grew to be tall and lanky, awkward and effeminate, but he loved to sing and dance, and he had a vivid imagination that would soon find its voice.

Some of his most famous fairy tales include: -The Angel -The Bell -The Emperor's New Clothes -The Fir Tree -The Happy Family -It's Quite True! -The Little Match Girl -The Little Mermaid -Little Tuk -The Nightingale -The Old House -Ole-Lukøie -The Princess and the Pea -The Red Shoes -The Shadow -The Snow Queen -The Steadfast Tin Soldier -The Story of a Mother -The Swineherd -Thumbelina -The Tinder Box -The Ugly Duckling -The Wild Swans

Greenland is a self-governed Danish territory. Though geographically and ethnically an Arctic island nation associated with the continent of North America, politically and historically Greenland is closely tied to Europe. Greenland was one of the Norwegian Crown colonies from the eleventh century until At that time, the kingdom of Denmark-Norway found itself on the losing side of the Napoleonic Wars. In gratitude to Sweden for her assistance in defeating Napoleon (and as a consolation for the recent loss of Finland to Russia), mainland Norway and certain Norwegian territories were transferred to Sweden — thus, the personal union of Norway and Denmark ended. The crown colonies of Greenland, Iceland and the Faeroe Islands, however, remained part of the reorganised "Kingdom of Denmark." Greenland became an integral part of the Kingdom of Denmark in It was granted home rule by the Folketing (Danish parliament) in The law went into effect on May 1, The Queen of Denmark, Margrethe II, remains Greenland's Head of State. Greenlandic voters subsequently chose to leave the European Economic Community upon achieving self-rule.

The Oresend Bridge was opened on 1st July, The bridge links Denmark and Sweden together for the first time since the Ice Age. The new road and rail project covers 10.5 miles (17km) between Malmo and Copenhagen and now physically links together Sweden and the rest of Western Europe. The ferry that goes between Malmo and Copenhagen takes three-quarters of an hour while travellers using the bridge can get across in a car in just over ten minutes.

It’s diplomatic to say the city of Billund has a number of tourist attractions, but the truth of the matter is that nearly every visitor to the city comes for one reason: the Legoland Theme Park. If you have children, or grew up with Legos yourself, the trip to out of the way Billund is certainly worth it. Over 45 million of the tiny locks are utilized to make up the Legoland Theme Park, portraying scenes from all over both Denmark and the rest of the world. Seeing Amalienborg Palace, the Statue of Liberty, or a series of Rhineland castles made entirely of Legos certainly doesn’t compare with seeing the real things, but the replicas are quite impressive in their own right.

Legos have a rich and storied history since their invention in the 1930s by Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen. By the 1950s, the toy had taken off in popularity, and by 1968 there was enough interest in the tiny blocks that Legoland Denmark opened that fall. The overwhelming success of the park, which has over a million people per year visit it, has led to parks sprouting up in America, England and Germany. Not bad for a company that was founded by an unemployed carpenter during the depression years
