These are from Denmark and all taken from Hans Christian Andersons stories. See if you can work out what the story is. (Only as a last resort use the translator.)
I have linked a translation of each story to the number below the image. There are lots more embroideries in this collection that were all brought to Australia by an immigrant. There were so many stories that I didn't know, then I found lots more at the translation page.
I also found the fact that these stories were published in America before they were published in Denmark amazing considering that the author is such an icon in his native land.
5 (I think)
Well, that has told me I don't know my Hans Christian Anderson as well as I thought I did...!
Off to the translation page!
