Briefly on the new Danish canon, which is already being criticised; not enough writers of children's literature, it is said. What critics forget, is that there is not automatically a democratic inclusion of every writer, that the majority enjoy reading. What they also forget is that it is still possible, in Danish lessons, to allow pupils to read other writers than the canonised. And that this canon has not been made solely for the purpose of Danish primary school education.
