Hans Christian Andersen used to travel all over Denmark, and he was especially fond of visiting big country estates, where he would tell his fairytales to the children (adults too) and do origami (paper folding) with them. According to legend he would stay for a long time, eat a lot of food and be difficult to get rid of....(!) If you are a foreigner and don't know H. C. Andersen, try reading some of his stories. They are timeless and wonderful.
