Imagine myself following a protagonist’ gripping adventure that might not have happened in this real world, such as waving the magic wand with the wizard, dancing with a Prince Charming and living happily ever after.  Whether I am bathing in happiness or when loneliness looms, love, loss and many others can be accomplished within a span of a couple of hours. Being a voracious reader, a smile creeps across my face when I realise how much Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales have enriched my childhood years. Even up to now, his magical stories never fail to delight, enchant and amaze us, and Copenhagen becomes a city where his writing inspiration flourished, and where he called it home.
