A large and visually appealing site, this resource introduces every aspect of Danish life and history. Most useful for students is Meet the kids!

Geography has plenty of vibrant photographs, allowing students to orient themselves to the country and to Copenhagen. More detailed information including food, history, the monarchy, and architecture can be found in The Danish state and Cultural Denmark. Note that the English translation does not work consistently.

Hans Christian Andersen: fairy tales and stories
The 200th anniversary of Hans Christian Andersen's birth is an ideal time to visit this site, which is dedicated to his life and works. His fairy tales often poke fun at the rich and conceited, while showing compassion for the poor and for misfits in society. The Chronological list of tales links most titles to the original text, complete with black ink illustrations. About the artwork briefly explains Andersen's preference for official illustrators, and his own interest in paper cutting. Ideal for a critical analysis of Purpose , Audience, and Responding to texts, to achieve outcome RS3.7 from the English K–6 syllabus, these versions could be compared to modern renditions, or simply enjoyed for entertainment and their wealth of language.

The tales of Hans Christian Andersen
An online 15 week interactive course on Andersen and his stories, this site is an intriguing collection of lecture videos, with much audio, visual, and written information about the complexities of the tales. In particular, the site stresses the dark humour of Andersen’s tales and his observations of the human existence. Written notes are useful for general analysis, and could prove interesting for teachers who are introducing junior students to the more literary aspects of Stage 6 English. The Week 1 study of The ugly duckling would be an excellent topic for these students. The site has much to offer English: Extension 2 students contemplating a Major work in this area, especially within the fields of social criticism, romanticism, or existentialism. C. Thomas
