I gave a talk in Elsinore that started with singing (of course it did), and wandered storybook streets - even Hans Christian Andersen called it home for a while

• Role: setting
• In the article: The author gives a talk in Elsinore and wanders its storybook streets. She learns there that Andersen’s stories are nominated for Denmark’s cultural heritage list.
• Why it matters: It is where the heritage-list news is introduced, which leads into the section on Danish customs. It is a modest setting.
