Odense : The Andersen's city

  Today, I ( Johanna ) went to Odense, the city of Hans Christian Andersen. Odense is the third largest city in Denmark and is really beautiful with its parks and small streams in the town. But this city is mostly a tourist place thanks to Hans Christian Andersen who lived there, and now, in Odense, we can visit the museum devoted to this writer and we can see his childhood home. Indeed, Hans Christian Andersen was a famous writer of fairy tales of the 19th century and many of his fairy tales are very famous and known by many people like : The Little Match Girl, The Ugly Duckling, The Little Mermaid,....
