The Danish love of story-telling is richly demonstrated in this unique anthology of seventeen tales drawn from the canon of Danish literature over the past two hundred years. Together these stories present a unique view of the city of Copenhagen.

Synopsis:

Exploring the many moods of the Danish capital. From the narrow twisting streets of the old town centre to the shady docklands, this rich anthology captures the essence of Copenhagen and its many faces. Through seventeen tales by some of the very best of Denmark's writers past and present, we travel the length and breadth of the Danish capital examining famous sights from unique perspectives. A guide book usefully informs a new visitor to Copenhagen but these stories allow the reader to experience the city and its history from the inside.
