      JUTTING out between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea is the country of Denmark, the smallest of the family of Scandinavian nations and the oldest kingdom. The largest part lies on a peninsula, the long north-reaching thumb of Jutland, which is attended by a swarm of 483 islands. The land is adorned with pleasant landscapes of fruitful fields and lush green meadows, cheerful woods, and quiet silvery lakes.

      The nature of the people bespeaks the friendly countryside, which has no wild mountain crags, no desolate wilderness, no temperamental volcanoes, no violent rivers. No wonder the Danes are not easily provoked to great outbursts of emotion! Mostly skeptical, with a wait-and-see attitude, they are quite tolerant as well as thrifty. Nothing daunts the Danes!
