"As Eliza dipped her head under the water, one of the toads sat on her hair, a second on her forehead, and a third on her breast, but she did not seem to notice them, and when she rose out of the water, there were three red poppies floating upon it." -Hans Christian Andersen

A few days ago we drove through Solvang, CA and visited a Hans Christian Andersen Museum.
Some Dutchy paper cutty things and a portrait.
Some really fun old books.
I've never loved most of his stories. The Ugly Duckling...meh. The Princess and the Pea...meh. But strangely enough, my very favorite fairy tale came from him. The Wild Swans.
I have a very fun idea of a girl and some swan brothers in my head now.
