Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Danish Story Book Let us pay a visit to Switzerland. Let us look around us in that magnificent mountainous country, where the woods creep up the sides of the precipitous walls of rock; let us ascend to the dazzling snow-fields above, and descend again to the green valleys beneath, where the rivers and the brooks foam along as if they were afraid that they should not fast enough reach the ocean and be lost in its immensity. The sun's burning rays shine on the deep dales; and they also shine upon the heavy masses of snow above, so that the ice-blocks which have been accumulating for years melt and become rolling avalanches, piled-up glaciers. Two such lie in the broad mountain clefts under Schreckhorn and Wetterhorn, near the little mountain town of Grindelwald.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Danish Fairy Tales The boy grew up strong and healthy and turned out an honest, truth-loving lad, who never gave his parents any trouble or caused them any sorrow. But they did not take very good care of the key, and the boy used to play with it until one fine day he lost it. Many years passed and the boy had grown a big lad, when one day, as he was helping his father to cart dung, he found in the dung-heap an old rusty key. He showed it to his mother, who recognized it at once, and told the boy that it was the key he had got as a christening gift, and then she told him the whole story of the old beggar man and what he had said. The boy put the key in his pocket and henceforth took great care of it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wonderful Tales From Denmark Xtions, the beautiful thoughts, the quaint drollery, and the kindly feeling to be found throughout. For these stories though, it is true, not all strictly speaking fairy-tales, yet seem to me to come from Fairy-land; for they have the strange witchery about them that when a child reads he sees just such pictures as delight his young fancy; and when a grown-up' person takes them in his hand he is equally delighted, though he sees them quite differently to the child, for to him there are hidden meanings and deep wisdom in what appears to some a mere childish tale. It may seem very magical for a thing to appear quite dif ferent to two persons at the same time, and yet remain unchanged; but so it is. As a proof of this, the lady to whom I have taken the liberty' of dedicating my little book wrote to me some time ago I look forward with great interest to the publication of that charming book, which I shall enjoy quite as much as if I were one of your legitimate readers of eight years old, instead of fifty-eight next Tuesday: so you see that not only the school-boy but one whose genius has delighted thousands, can read them with enjoyment. However, I suppose this is because the good and the gentle-natured, be their age what it may, are all children in heart; taking delight in the same simple things, and moved like most of yourselves by the expression of natural feeling. At Copenhagen, too, these tales are read in the theatre to the audi ence between the acts; so great and so general is the interest they excite.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poet's Bazaar, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Danish of Hans Christian Andersen In these days it is indeed rare to find a man of genius emerging out of obscurity by the sheer force of his own abilities. He seems at the present time more frequently determined to his particular profession, by the compulsion or the advice of his family, or his friends, than precipitated into it by his own uncontrollable impulses. Parents will have their children to be such or such; and they send them to school to be educated for geniuses.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Danes, Sketched by Themselves, Vol. 2 of 3: A Series of Popular Stories by the Best Danish Authors Farther up on the land, the bare, desolate-look ing plain of sand disappears by degrees under high banks which are overgrown by a thick, low copse of brushwood, with some stunted oak and beech trees showing themselves as sad mementoes of an extensive wood, that formerly joined the forest of Erizo, and in the midst of which the village of Bannerup was situated. The village and the wood have both disappeared long since. Far in among the bushes people sometimes stumble upon pieces of broken stones with their mouldering cement of lime, the last fragments of the work and walls of ages gone by: in a few years the copse itself will have vanished, and the blackbird and the thrush, whose blithe carols on the summer evenings were heard even by those sailing near in the Belt, will seek other leafy homes.

During the winter months he was satisfied to go to school, and learn to read and write; but in summer, when the soft wind stole with its balmy breath through the windows of the schoolroom, he used to fancy that it brought him greetings from the adjacent sea - that it came fraught with the odour of the sun-bleached deck, of the tarry rope, of the swelling sail - and then the schoolroom became too confined for him, and his little breast heaved with a longing which he could not repress.
