Hans Christian Andersen mobiles and paper cut outs
Before the Flensted family became makers of mobiles, they were publishers, and published the works of Hans Christian Andersen in many languages.
If you have an old Hans Christian Andersen book on your bookshelves, it might be from Flensted’s Publishing House.
As well as telling tales and fables, Hans Christian Andersen also made paper cutouts, for adults and children alike. It is said that he always carried a large pair of scissors, 24 cm long, when he went to dinner parties.
In the middle of a conversation, he would produce the scissors, fold a piece of paper and move it deftly through the scissors’ jaws. Hans Christian Andersen created around 1500 paper cut outs.
Between 1980 and 2003, Christian and Grethe Flensted ran a shop only metres away from Andersen’s house in Odense. After 1982, it became a Flensted tradition to publish a cutout each year.
These cutouts are mounted on a thread and supplied with an envelope and a greetings card with a portrait of Hans Christian Andersen. They make an original greetings card or can be used to decorate your Christmas tree.
