[Mcll]

An early work by Hans Christian Andersen has been found at the bottom of a box near the Danish fairy tale writer's home city.

Waw, cool! I didn't even know that! Being Danish, I grew up listning to H. C Andersens fairy tales. My gandfathers name was also Hans Christian Andersen, and I remember once as a child, when he called my house. I answered the phone and he presented himself as H. C. Andersen. I was stunned and didn't know what to say to this great author, whom I also presumed was dead, so I just hung up :). At that time, I had no idea what my grandfathers name was, I only knew him as 'grandad'!

This post just made me think of that:)
