Publisher's Synopsis
Han's Christian Andersen said, "Every man's life is a fairy tale, written by God's fingers." And if we begin as empty slates for God to write upon, then this is what must have happened to Hans Christian Andersen! Now you can walk where he walked and see what he saw and find out what motivated him and inspired him to be a great writer. John D. Weigand and Penelope Dyan traveled to this magical place to see where all the inspiration began and to experience the serene beauty of this place they call 'Wonderful, Wonderful Copenhagen.' Kid's can use this book when they travel to Copenhagen and insert pictures, tickets and notes, and make up their very own fairy-tales to tell to their friends when they get home! Or they can travel vicariously with Dyan and Weigand through the pages of this book. Written by award winning author, Penelope Dyan to complement the beautiful photography of John D. Weigand, this book serves several purposes, one of which is to enlarge the horizons of the young. Use this book as you talk about one very famous author, Hans Christian Andersen, so that your child may see where this man lived and what inspired him. Ater all, all kids know his stories! Besides being an award winning author, Penelope Dyan is also an attorney and a former teacher. She brings her teaching expertise to the table with every book she writes. And when a child recognizes what he has already seen in a book, traveling can be ever so much more delightful and exciting!
