FOREWORD
Have you visited Denmark? Do you plan to do so? Copen-
hagen??? the city of laughter??? is one place you must be sure
to see. It is one of the most fascinating cities in the world.
But don t stop there??? or you will get a very lopsided view of
Denmark. You will miss the country s wide beaches and
charming islands??? the picturesque villages and lovely beech
woods??? the busy ferries and bustling provincial cities. In
fact??? you will miss more than half of Denmark if you visit
only Copenhagen.
i Denmark is such a small country--scarcely the size of
the Willamette Valley in Oregon??? with a population less
than half that of greater Los Angeles. Would you believe???
: then??? that at one time the Danes owned great expanses
of territory--England??? Germany??? Sweden??? Norway??? as well
( as Iceland and Greenland?
But Denmark??? although small in size??? has had a great
\" impact upon the face of the globe. Perhaps the Danes have
been blessed by the smallness of their nation. The country s
size has enabled them to observe the world as through a
telescope--to obtain from that vantage point a good??? clear
perspective of the needs and problems of society. Adding
their own ingenuity and special talents to this perspective???
the Danes have come up with many contributions and solu-
tions to the world s problems.
