SYLVESTER Author of English and American Literature AESOP Many centuries ago, more than six hundred years before Christ was born, there lived in Greece a man by the name of Aesop. We do not know very much about him, and no one can tell exactly what he wrote, or even that he ever wrote anything. We know he was a slave and much wiser than his masters, but whether he was a fine, shapely man or a hunchback and a cripple we cannot be sure, for different people have written very differently about him. No matter what he was or how he lived, many, many stories are still told about him, and the greater part of the fables we all like to read are said to have been written or told by him, and everybody still calls them Aesop's fables. Some of the stories told about him are curious indeed. Here are a few of them. In those days

  • Writing Lily Huckleberry in Scandinavia
    LILY HUCKLEBERRY IN SCANDINAVIA - teaching curriculum - Here are a few project ideas to help get the creativity and curiosity flowing in your little adventurers! All activities are easily adaptable to the age and size of your class. We would love to see your projects! Tag us on Instagram @lilyhuckleberry or send us an email: [email protected] WRITING Fairy Tale Fun When Lily travels to Copenhagen, many special characters are hidden in the forest. As revealed at the back of the book, these are all Hans Christian Andersen stories. The Little Mermaid was also written by Andersen, who lived in Denmark in the 1800’s. Step 1: Read a story. Find a copy of the fairy tales and have kids pick one (or more!) story to read (or read out loud to them): The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Snow Queen, Thumbelina, The Nightingale, The Beetle who Went on His Travels, The Butterfly, The Teapot, The Little Mermaid. Go back to the picture in the forest and see if they can find their story hidden in the pages. Step 2: Write a story. Have the kids write (or draw) fairy tales of their own, using one character from their Andersen story and one character from Lily Huckleberry to create their unique story. Step 3: Act it out. For extra fun, have kids create plays out of the different stories with costumes and props (PS: We want to see pictures and videos of these performances!) Norse Mythology Look up some of the legends about Thor, who inspired Thorsen of our story, and Bifrost, the rain- bow bridge, believed to connect the world of gods and that of humans.

  • Power of the Proverbs
    POWERINTHEPROVERBS The purpose of this handout is to help you work through the book of Proverbs in one month. This is a devotional that you can do one month per year or do every month. For millennia, the book of Proverbs has proved to be a fount of wisdom for God’s people. One does not have to have a seminary degree or many years of Biblical training to understand the book of Proverbs. For example, Proverbs 25: 17 says “Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house, Lest he become weary of you and hate you.” Now where can you get that type of wise sage advice in the modern world? Proverbs is written by the wisest man that ever lived, Solomon. In 1 Kings 3: 13 God tells Solomon, “Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you.” (ESV) If the wisest person ever known were to offer you free advice, would you at least listen to it? Here is someone who has tried and done nearly anything and everything possible (read Ecclesiastes). His insights not only represent God-given wisdom but are topped with the clarity that comes from living in a very real world. Instead of reading the latest self-help book why not read from wisdom that is God-given and has stood the test of time? When reading Proverbs remember that not all of the book contains short, concise statements. Proverbs 1:1-7 discusses the value of wisdom, and then chapters one through nine praise wisdom and talk about how to get it and live it.

    NORDEA BANK PRESENTS A GUIDE TO COPENHAGEN GUIDE TO COPENHAGEN ANNUAL REPORT OF OJSC NORDEA BANK FOR 2013 GUIDE TO COPENHAGEN Annual Report 2013 OJSC Nordea Bank Dear frienDs, I am delighted to present the Annual Report of Nordea Bank Russia. It is the second one in our series of travel guides to capitals of the Nordic and Baltic countries which are Nordea’s home markets. This time — introducing Copenhagen. On my first visit to Copenhagen — well before 2007 when our Russian bank became part of Nordea and we started going on frequent business trips to the Nordics — I was amazed by the city’s unique lifestyle. I would call it eco-friendly: people are lively and active, but no one is in a rush, there are many large modern buildings, but the streets are cozy and intimate, and the whole city is simple, straightforward, nice and comfortable. This guide will not only lead you through Copenhagen’s landmarks, museums, parks, restaurants and clubs, but will also let you feel the free spirit and nature of this beautiful city. Denmark has been one of Nordea’s home markets for over two centuries. Sparekassen for Kjøbenhavn og Omegn, opened in 1820, is among the oldest banks Nordea stems from. It boasts of having served Hans Christian Andersen, the first name you think of when you say Denmark, and we are sure that’s a fact, not a legend. Besides Denmark, Nordea, the largest financial services group in Northern Europe, operates in Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Baltics and Russia. 2013 proved to be a difficult year for both global and European economy, its financial and banking sectors.

  • Hans Christian Andersen's
    HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN’S ROMANTIC IMAGINATION: Exploring eighteenth and nineteenth century romantic conceptualisations of the imagination in selected fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen. ANNETTE GREYVENSTEYN submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject English Studies at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: Dr Eileen Donaldson July 2018 Abstract There are certain influences from the eighteenth and nineteenth century English and German romantic Zeitgeist that can be discerned in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales. The role of the imagination stands out as a particularly dominant notion of the romantic period as opposed to the emphasis on reason during the Enlightenment. It is this romantic influence that Andersen’s tales especially exemplify. For him the imagination is transcendent – one can overcome the mystery and hardship of an earthly existence by recasting situations imaginatively and one can even be elevated to a higher, spiritual realm by its power. The transcendent power of the imagination is best understood by viewing it through the lens of negative capability, a concept put forward by romantic poet, John Keats. The concept implies an “imaginative openness” to what is, which allows one to tolerate life’s uncertainties and the inexplicable suffering that forms part of one’s earthly existence by using the imagination to open up new potential within trying circumstances. In selected fairy tales, Andersen’s child protagonists transcend their circumstances by the power of their imagination. In other tales, nature is instrumental in this imaginative transcendence. The natural world conveys spiritual truths and has a moralising influence on the characters, bringing them closer to the Ultimate Creator.

  • THE BROTHERS GRIMM and HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN Cay
    THE BROTHERS GRIMM AND HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN Cay Dollerup, Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract In broad terms the genre we usually term ‘fairytales’ first appeared in France, whose culture and language are central to in European history, when Charles Perrault published Les Contes de ma Mère l’Oye (or Contes) in 1697. The genre was invigorated in Germany, notaby by the Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812) of the brothers Grimm. Both France and Germany were large nations and dominant in European cultural life, but small Denmark also stands out in the history of the Euro- pean fairytales in the 19th century. The reason is that the Dane Hans Christian Andersen wrote Eventyr (1835) that have also become well-known internationally. Andersen never credited the brothers Grimm as a source inspiration about his inspiration for writing fairytales. In this paper I shall discuss the history of the Grimm Tales, the Danish response to them, the way the German Tales were edited, the story of Andersen’s life and the reasons why he never credited the brothers Grimm for inspiring him to write fairytales. His narratives were not the creations of his fertile ima- gination only. But the story behind this, with the brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen as the towering figures, is complex. The brothers Grimm and Napoleonic Europe The brothers Grimm began collecting tales in the kingdom of Westphalia.1 Unlike today’s unified Germany, Napoleonic ‘Germany’ consisted of numerous more or less autonomous fiefs, principalities, and kingdoms. One of these was the landgravedom of Hesse with less than 10,000 square kilometres and half a milli- on inhabitants.
