Denmark

"Denmark" by M. Pearson Thomson is a travel exploration from the early 1900s, painting a vivid picture of Denmark's culture, past, and scenery. It examines both city living and countryside peace, especially the exciting capital city. Through what appears to be first-hand experience, Thomson shares Danish practices, important people, and striking features of the land. Readers are first drawn into "Merry Copenhagen," a bustling, friendly city. The journey into the city through the Sound starts the story, noting Kronborg Castle and other places of historical importance. The Danish people's kindness and the energetic social scene are brought to life by descriptions of buildings, parks, and traditions. This first look creates a path for a close examination of folk traditions, historical icons like Hans Christian Andersen, and the stunning countryside, asking people to lose themselves in the appeal of Denmark.
