John D. Weigand / John DWeigand
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!
