| I'm going to go right down the middle with a middling rating of this book, with the stars mostly for the intention. It is clear that Dalton is a lovely man with a great big heart and the genesis of the book and many of the stories are truly heart-war ...more | |

| An interesting combination of literary history and marketing: I mean, who's going to read these unless they have an interest in Copenhagen? I do, and so this reading experience brought me back to a cherished four months in Helsingor, just north of Co ...more | |
